Secure cloud-based clipboard for touch devices

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• providing, by a stylus, a first input to a first client device, wherein the first input corresponds to an asset displayed via a first application of the first client device, and wherein the first client device is configured to encrypt the asset to store on a remote server device and further generate a decryption key to decrypt the encrypted asset based on the first input;
• based on the first input, storing, by the stylus, a unique identifier and a decryption key received from the first client device into a memory of the stylus, wherein the unique identifier corresponds to the stored encrypted asset;
• and
• providing, by the stylus, a second input to a second application of one of the first client device or a second client device, the second input initiating a communication of the stored unique identifier and the stored decryption key from the stylus to the first or second client device respectively, wherein the respective first or second client device is configured to retrieve and decrypt the encrypted asset, based on the communicated unique identifier and decryption key, to display the asset via the second application thereof.

A stylus comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, that if executed by at least one processor of the stylus, cause the at least one processor to:
• provide a first input to a first client device, wherein the first input corresponds to an asset displayed via a first application of the first client device, and wherein the first client device is configured to encrypt the asset to store on a remote server device and further generate a decryption key to decrypt the encrypted asset based on the first input;
• based on the first input, store in a memory of the stylus, a unique identifier and a decryption key received from the first client device, wherein the unique identifier corresponds to the stored encrypted asset;
• and
• provide a second input to a second application of one of the first client device or a second client device, the second input initiating a communication of the stored unique identifier and the stored decryption key from the stylus to the first or second client device respectively, wherein the respective first or second client device is configured to retrieve and decrypt the encrypted asset, based on the communicated unique identifier and decryption key, to display the asset via the second application thereof.
