==Questions about Secure Communication==
===How does this technology ensure the security of transmitted information?===
This technology ensures security by encrypting information stored on the mobile device before transferring it to the untrusted device, which then forwards it to the server securely.

===What are the potential risks associated with using untrusted devices for communication?===
The main risk is the potential exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized parties if the untrusted device is compromised.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for secure communication between computing devices. A mobile device may communicate with an untrusted device to cause the untrusted device to send information (e.g., encrypted information that the untrusted device is unable to decrypt) to a server using an Internet connection of the untrusted device. The mobile device may have limited or no access to the Internet. To prevent potential security risks associated with using a public or untrusted device, the mobile device may encrypt information stored on the mobile device (e.g., stored in a mobile application associated with the server), send it to the untrusted device (e.g., by displaying a QR code to a camera of the untrusted device), and the untrusted device may send the information to the server via a network connection of the untrusted device.
