Methods and systems for secure acquisition and transmission of image

A system for secure acquisition and transmission of an image, comprising:

• a mobile communication device configured to communicate over a communication network, the mobile communication device comprising:
• at least one processor;
• a volatile memory space allocated by the processor for a defined session and de-allocated at the termination of the session;
• and
• a digital camera configured to acquire an image and to store the acquired image in the allocated volatile memory space, wherein the mobile communication device transmits the stored image using a secure transmission protocol during the session.
