INTERIM CONNECTIONS FOR PROVIDING SECURE COMMUNICATION OF CONTENT BETWEEN DEVICES

The present disclosure provides a system that controls an interim connection between two computing devices. The system first determines if a person if physically present at the host device by detecting an interaction with an input device attached to the host device. In response to the input, the system generates a connection identifier that is displayed at the host device. The display of a graphical element for communicating the connection identifier enables the guest device to receive the connection identifier. The graphical element can be a Quick Response (QR) code, bar code, text, etc. The guest device can send a connection request to the server using the connection identifier. In response to the request, the server verifies the connection identifier and establishes a data connection between the host device and the guest device. Data can be exchanged between the host device and the guest device via the server.
