Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed that receive encrypted media files from a remote device during pre-caching. The encrypted media files may be transferred from the remote devices prior to a user issuing a request to share the particular media file. The remote device may maintain cryptographic keys associated with the sent encrypted media files and only share a cryptographic key associated with a media file the user wishes to share. Without the cryptographic keys, the local device cannot access the contents of the pre-shared encrypted media files in a cache. Upon the user sharing the media file and the local device receiving the cryptographic key, the local device may use the cryptographic key to decrypt the encrypted media file and display the media file at a significantly reduced latency than if the media file were sent only upon the sharing request.
