Methods and systems for secure transmission and reception of data between a mobile device and a central computer system

A method for secure data reception by a mobile device from a central computer over a communication network, comprising:

• executing a first computer program in the mobile device;
• allocating by the first computer program a volatile memory space in the mobile device for a defined session;
• receiving data by the mobile device using a secure transmission protocol over the communication network;
• storing the received data in the allocated volatile memory space;
• and
• de-allocating the volatile memory space at the termination of the session,
• wherein the de-allocation erases the received data from the volatile memory space.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with first computer-executable instructions for secure data transmission from a mobile device to a central computer over a communication network, wherein the first computer-executable instructions when executed cause at least one data processing system to:

• allocate a volatile memory space in the mobile device for a defined session;
• store data in the allocated volatile memory space;
• transmit the stored data to the central computer using a secure transmission protocol over the communication network;
• and
• de-allocate the volatile memory space at the termination of the session,
• wherein the de-allocation erases the transmitted data from the volatile memory space.
