Abstract
A method comprises establishing a network connection between the first processing device and the second processing device for transfer of data associated with a software authenticator from the first processing device to the second processing device, encrypting the software authenticator data with encryption that is separate from encryption used for the network connection, and transferring the encrypted software authenticator data from the first processing device to the second processing device. Another method comprises establishing the network connection between the first processing device and the second processing device for transfer of the software authenticator data, receiving encrypted data from the first processing device, wherein the encrypted data has encryption that is separate from encryption used for the network connection, decrypting the encrypted data to obtain data associated with a software authenticator and importing the software authenticator data into a software authenticator stored in a memory of the second processing device.
