Abstract
Methods for securing image, video and/or audio media data captured by a media recording device are disclosed. Various embodiments may include determining whether media data captured by the media recording device should be secured in response to the media recording device activating a media recording application, obtaining an encryption key in response to determining that media data captured by the media recording device should be secured, encrypting media data (e.g., image, video and/or audio data) captured by the media recording device using the obtained encryption key, and storing the encrypted media data. In some embodiments, determining that media data should be secured and obtaining the encryption key may be based on user inputs in response to prompts. In some embodiments, determining that media data should be secured may be based on whether the media recording device satisfies a geo-location criterion and the encryption key may be provided by a server.
