Abstract

A geolocation-based encryption method and system. The geolocation-based encryption method and system may comprise the steps of: providing an encryption application running on a first mobile computing device and a second mobile computing device; generating a key based, at least in part, of a geolocation data, a device identification data, and a unique file identifier associated with said digital content; selecting a target location on the first mobile computing device to create a GPS data, which may be a portion of the geolocation data; encrypting a digital content based on the key; establishing secure session(s) among the user, a recipient, and server(s); and transmitting the encrypted digital content to the server(s).

 wherein said encryption application running on said first mobile computing device is configured to:   (1) download said encrypted digital content from said one or more servers based on said geolocation data; and   (2) decrypt said encrypted digital content based on said key to generate a decrypted digital content.   
     
     
         5 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 4 , wherein said encryption application is configured to run on a second mobile computing device associated with a recipient of said digital content. 
     
     
         6 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 5 , wherein said encryption application running on said second mobile computing device is configured to:
 (1) download said encrypted digital content from said one or more servers based on said geolocation data; and   (2) decrypt said encrypted digital content based on said key to generate said decrypted digital content.   
     
     
         7 . A geolocation-based encryption system, the system comprising:
 a first mobile computing device having a computer readable storage medium, comprising one or more instructions that, when executed by said first mobile computing device, cause said first mobile computing device to:   prompt a user of said first mobile computing device to make a geolocation based action to create a global positioning system data;   generate a key based on a geolocation data;   wherein said geolocation data comprises said global positioning system data;   encrypt a digital content stored in said computer readable storage medium based on said key;   establish one or more secure sessions among said user and said one or more servers; and   transmit said encrypted digital content to said one or more servers;   
     
     
         8 . The geolocation-based encryption system of  claim 7 , wherein said system establishes one or more secure sessions with a recipient of said digital content and said one or more servers. 
     
     
         9 . The geolocation-based encryption system of  claim 8 , wherein said system transmits said encrypted digital content to a second mobile computing device associated with said recipient via said one or more servers. 
     
     
         10 . The geolocation-based encryption system of  claim 9 , wherein said encryption application running on said second mobile computing device is configured to decrypt said encrypted digital content based on said key to generate a decrypted digital content. 
     
     
         11 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 7 , wherein said device identification data comprises an internet protocol address of said second mobile computing device. 
     
     
         12 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 7 , wherein said decryption of said encrypted digital content only occurs when said second mobile computing device is physically positioned approximately at said target location. 
     
     
         13 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 7 , wherein said decryption of said encrypted digital content only occurs when said recipient selects said targeted location on a digital map displayed on said second mobile computing device. 
     
     
         14 . The geolocation-based encryption method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 prompting a user to physically orient said first mobile computing device to a target orientation to create a target gyroscope data;   wherein said geolocation data comprises said target gyroscope data;   wherein said decryption of said encrypted digital content occurs only when said second mobile computing device is physically oriented at approximately said target orientation.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising one or more executable instructions, which, when executed by a first mobile computing device, configure the first mobile computing device to perform a geolocation-based encryption, the steps comprising:
 prompting a user of said first mobile computing device to select a target location on said first mobile computing device to create a global positioning system data;   generating a key based on a geolocation data, a device identification data, and a unique file identifier associated with said digital content;   wherein said geolocation data comprises said global positioning system data;   encrypting a digital content stored in a computer readable storage medium based on said key;   establishing one or more secure sessions among said user, a recipient of said digital content, and said one or more servers; and   transmitting said encrypted digital content to said second mobile computing device via said one or more servers;   wherein said encryption application running on said second mobile computing device is configured to decrypt said encrypted digital content based on said key to generate a decrypted digital content.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein said device identification data comprises an internet protocol address of said second mobile computing device.
