A image and data application service provider system provides a way of remotely viewing and manipulating images and data for diagnostic and visualization purposes by users unconstrained by geography. Images and data are stored on one or more servers running application service provider software along with meta-data such as access control information, origin of information and references to related data. A set of data consisting related information is sent as an encrypted stream to a viewing station running client software in a secure execution environment that is logically independent of the viewing station's operating system.
