SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURELY ACTIVATING A MOBILE DEVICE STORING AN ENCRYPTION KEY

A method of establishing a secure connection between an application on a device and a host server without requiring that the necessary client and server-side certificates to be neither pre-installed, physically moved and loaded or transmitted in the clear. The authentication of the mobile network is directly used to generate the keys required to effect the secure connection. PKI pairs ultimately generated for this connection are securely stored by segmentation storage in a manner that allows the secure connection to be reestablished by recovering only some of the parts as defined by the segmentation algorithm.
