Abstract
A method, system, server device and computer program product for securely transferring data from one or more non-subscribers to a subscriber or subscriber-defined destination, via a network, are provided. Access is provided, to one or more non-subscriber, to a network location indicator (NLI) and a private data transfer conduit is established, accessible via the NLI and configured to accept data from the non-subscribers. Data received at the conduit is transformed into secured data and transferred to the subscriber or subscriber-defined destination. In some embodiments, access to the NLI may be provided by accepting a request from a subscriber and sending, upon receipt of the request, a notification to at least one non-subscriber.
