The user identification block operates to generate and transmit a key identifier to the user using the contact information of the user. The file fingerprinting block to allow the user to upload the at least one file upon verification of the key identifier by the file fingerprinting block. The file fingerprinting block operates to generate characteristic information about the at least one file and to fingerprint the file. The file fingerprinting block includes a digital fingerprint generator that produces a digital fingerprint of the file.
