1. A method of generating a reproducible encryption key for encrypting data associated with a data item for transmission to a remote communication device, comprising:

  • applying a deterministic algorithm to at least a portion of the data item to generate a first hash, the data item exceeding a selected batch size,using the first hash as an encryption key to encrypt a first batch of the data associated with the data item,transmitting the encrypted first batch of the data associated with the data item to the remote communication device,applying the deterministic algorithm to at least a portion of the data item to generate a further hash whereby the further hash is identical to the first hash,using the further hash as an encryption key to encrypt a further batch of the data associated with the data item, andtransmitting the encrypted further batch of the data associated with the data item to the remote communication device.
