Secure delivery of digital media via flash device

A media delivery system, comprising:

• an external device comprising:
• a means for communicative coupling to a flash device;
• and
• a means for providing at least one unique external device identifier (“EDID”);
• a flash device comprising:
• a control means for the flash device comprising:
• a means for executing a machine readable instruction set;
• a means for storing factory initialized data;
• wherein the factory initialized data comprises:
• a vendor identification (VID) string;
• a product identification (PID) string;
• and
• a manufacturer identification string;
• and
• a storage means for the flash device, comprising:
• a means for storing at least one read-only, machine executable, instruction set;
• and
• a means for validating the read-only, machine executable, instruction set prior to transferring at least a portion of the at least one read-only, machine executable, instruction sets to the external device.

A method for delivering digital data, comprising:

• communicatively coupling a flash device to an external device;
• wherein the flash device comprises:
• a controller module comprising:
• at least one central processing unit;
• at least one register having factory initialized data disposed therein;
• wherein the factory initialized data comprises:
• a vendor identification (VID) string;
• a product identification (PID) string;
• a manufacturer identification string;
• and
• a memory module comprising:
• at least one read-only partition having digital data disposed therein;
• wherein the digital data comprises at least one machine executable instruction set;
• and
• wherein the external device comprises an electronic computing device having at least one unique external device identifier (EDID);
• validating the flash device;
• if the validation is successful, transferring at least a portion of the digital data contained in the at least one read only partition to the external device;
• and
• if the validation is unsuccessful, preventing the transfer of at least a portion of the digital data contained in the at least one read only partition to the external device.
