A DATA TRANSFER AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system for the secure transfer of data and data management on the Internet has a data encryption and transfer module operable in a user computing system, a data management module operable in a server computing system, the transfer of data between the user and server computing systems being effected on the user computing system through use of the data encryption and transfer module, by moving the data to or from a first desktop window, associated with the user computing system, from or to a second desktop window, associated with the server computing system, each window being associated with a password, such that the step of moving the data from one window to the other causes the data to be encrypted/re-encrypted from one associated password to the other. The system also includes a password management module operable in the user computing system for managing the passwords, which are required to be used by a user of the system. The system uses symmetric key encryption coupled with file transfer protocol (FTP) data transfer and allows for the secure transfer of large data files of 100 megabytes or more.
