1. An encrypted file transfer system comprising:
- a user interface;
a secure server that at least stores one or more encrypted files; and
a decryption module,where the user interface communicates with the secure server to download one or more identified encrypted files based on a user profile,where the user profile includes an identification of the one or more identified encrypted files to be downloaded via the user interface, andwhere the decryption module obtains a decryption key based on an identifier associated with the one or more identified encrypted files, and decrypts the one or more identified encrypted files.

Abstract
An encrypted file transfer system allows for the platform independent transfer of files and encrypting/decrypting in an integrated solution. Furthermore, the exchange of encryption keys can be handled through, for example, a secure socket connection between the client and a server thus removing the requirement of the user manually decrypting the transferred file(s).

6. A method for encrypted file transfer comprising:
-
communicating with a secure server via a user interface device to download one or more identified encrypted files based on a user profile, where the user profile includes an identification of the one or more identified encrypted files to be downloaded via the user interface device; obtaining, from a server, a decryption key based on an identifier associated with the one or more identified encrypted files; and decrypting, by the user interface device, the one or more identified encrypted files. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method for encrypted file transfer comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more servers, a request to forward one or more stored files; receiving, by the one or more servers, the one or more stored files and determining if a key is available for the one or more stored files; obtaining, by the one or more servers, a new encryption key if the key is not available; encrypting, by the one or more servers, the one or more stored files; associating, by the one or more servers, a key identifier with the one or more encrypted files; forwarding, by the one or more servers, the one or more encrypted files and the key identifier to at least one secure destination; communicating with a secure server via a user interface device to download one or more of the one or more encrypted files based on a user profile, where the user profile includes an identification of the one or more identified encrypted files to be downloaded via the user interface device; obtaining, by the user interface device, a decryption key based on the key identifier associated with the one or more identified encrypted files; and decrypting, by the user interface device, the one or more identified encrypted files.
