Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring data to a mobile device is described. Authentication information associated with a user is received and used to authenticate the user. A one-time-use password is determined and an identity of a mobile device and/or a mobile device operator is verified. Encrypted data is transmitted to the mobile device, where the encryption is based, at least in part, on the one-time-use password. On receipt of the password at the mobile device, the data may be decrypted for use by the mobile device.
