Abstract

Tokenized assets with associated value are transferred from a designated server to a mobile device. The associated value is removed from the designated server. The tokenized assets are transferred to a first trusted electronic device. The first trusted electronic device is associated with the mobile device. At least a portion of the tokenized assets are transferred to a second trusted electronic device such that the portion of the tokenized assets are only stored on the second trusted electronic device after the transfer. The second electronic device is associated with a second mobile device. The transfer occurs at a time when both the mobile device and the electronic device are offline.

Claims (50)

1. A method, comprising:

transferring tokenized assets with associated value from a designated server to a mobile device;

removing the associated value from the designated server;

transferring the tokenized assets to a first trusted electronic device, the first trusted electronic device associated with the mobile device; and

transferring at least a portion of the tokenized assets to a second trusted electronic device such that the portion of the tokenized assets are only stored on the second trusted electronic device after the transfer, the second electronic device associated with a second mobile device, wherein the transfer occurs at a time when both the mobile device and the electronic device are offline.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encrypting a unique identifier and a public key of the first trusted electronic device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

exchanging a unique identifier and a public key of the first trusted electronic device; and

validating the unique identifier prior to receiving the tokenized assets.

4. The method of claim 1 , further wherein transferring at least the portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device comprises transferring at least the portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device using an asymmetric key exchange.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the asymmetric key exchange comprises:

exchanging a public key associated with the first trusted electronic device with the second trusted electronic device; and

exchanging a public key associated with the second trusted electronic device with the first trusted electronic device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein transferring at least the portion of the value quantity to the second trusted electronic device comprises:

encrypting at least the portion of the tokenized assets with the public key associated with the second trusted electronic device; and

transferring the encrypted at least the portion of the tokenized assets with the public key associated with the second trusted electronic device to the second trusted electronic device.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that an interact connection is available; and

syncing a value remaining on the first trusted electronic device with the server.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least a portion of the tokenized assets is transferred to the second trusted electronic device using near field data transfer.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tokenized assets are transferred to the first trusted electronic device via a wired connection.

10. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more storage devices storing computer program instructions which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

transferring tokenized assets with associated value from a designated server to a mobile device;

removing the associated value from the designated server;

transferring the tokenized assets to a first trusted electronic device, the first trusted electronic device associated with the mobile device; and

transferring at least a portion of the tokenized assets to a second trusted electronic device such that the portion of the tokenized assets are only stored on the second trusted electronic device after the transfer, the second electronic device associated with a second mobile device, wherein the transfer occurs at a time when both the mobile device and the electronic device are offline.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising encrypting a unique identifier and a public key of the first trusted electronic device.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

exchanging a unique identifier and a public key of the first trusted electronic device; and

validating the unique identifier prior to receiving the tokenized asset.

13. The system of claim 10 , further wherein transferring at least the portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device comprises transferring at least the portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device using an asymmetric key exchange.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the asymmetric key exchange comprises:

exchanging a public key associated with the first trusted electronic device with the second trusted electronic device; and

exchanging a public key associated with the second trusted electronic device with the first trusted electronic device.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein transferring at least the portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device comprises:

encrypting at least the portion of the tokenized assets with the public key associated with the first trusted electronic device; and

transferring the encrypted at least the portion of the tokenized assets with the public key associated with the first trusted electronic device to the second trusted electronic device.

16. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining that an internet connection is available; and

syncing a value remaining on the first trusted electronic device with the server.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least a portion of the tokenized assets is transferred to the second trusted electronic device using near field data transfer.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the tokenized asset are transferred to the first trusted electronic device via a wired connection.

19. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first trusted electronic device and the second trusted electronic device are trusted tamper-proof devices.

20. A system comprising:

a first trusted electronic device; and

a second trusted electronic device, the first trusted electronic device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive tokenized assets with associated value at a mobile device from a designated server to a mobile device, wherein after the tokenized asset is received, the value quantity is removed from the server; and

a transmitter configured to transmit at least a portion of the tokenized assets to the second trusted electronic device such that the portion of the tokenized assets is only stored on the second trusted electronic device after the transfer, wherein the transfer occurs at a time when both first trusted electronic device and the second trusted electronic device are offline.
