System and method for securely transmitting data using video validation

Abstract

A system and method is disclosed for secure transmission of electronic information between two parties. A first data communication session between a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first data communication session is via a first communication protocol. Further, the first computing device transmits first information via the first communication protocol that is received by the second computing device via the first communication protocol. During the first communication session, a second data communication session is provided between the first computing device and the second computing device. The second communication session is via a second communication protocol, which is more secure than the first communication protocol. The first computing device transmits second information via the second communication protocol that is received by the second computing device the second information via the second communication protocol. The second information relates at least partially to the first information. Moreover, the second communication session appears to a user of the first computing device to be the first communication session.
