Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for securely transferring entitled data from one or more devices in a customer's network to a vendor's network via a public network is described.

The transformed data is then assorted by associating the transformed data with corresponding one or more devices. Finally, the assorted data is then encrypted and sent to the backend server securely via the public network along with entitlement attributes corresponding to the one or more devices.
