Abstract
A system is based on a three-way end-to-end methodology for securely delivering and managing digital transaction documents from a distributor to a user'"'"'s trusted personal digital device via a secured digital transaction document server (“secured DTD server”). Once stored on the personal digital device, a secured digital transaction document may be decrypted for use at a transaction facility, or may be used at the transaction facility in encrypted form if the transaction facility is in communication with the secured DTD server for verification of the secured digital transaction document. The secured DTD server may also receive information from the transaction facility, and provide reports to the distributors for further action vis-à-vis the transaction facilities.
