Abstract
A client application allows a user of a telecommunication device to retrieve contact data of a particular individual from a server to initiate contact with the particular individual without viewing content designated as private by the particular individual. The retrieved contact data includes encrypted content and non-encrypted content. The telecommunication device sends a directory request to the server requesting contact data from an electronic directory stored on the server. If the directory request is validated by the server, the telecommunication device receives the requested contact data from the server. The telecommunication device also receives a decryption key and a key expiration parameter from the server. The client application executing on the telecommunication device can use the decryption key within a time period defined by the key expiration parameter to decrypt encrypted contacted data on the telecommunication device to initiate contact with the particular individual.
