Securely transmit UIImage to app running on desktop website

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to transmit a UIImage (png or tiff) securely to an application running in my desktop browser (Mac or PC). The desktop application and iOS app would potentially be running on the same local network (iOS hotspot or something) or have no internet connection at all.

I'm trying to securely send over an image that the running desktop app could ingest. I was thinking something like a local server securely accepting image data from an iPhone.

Any suggestions ideas or where to look for more info would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help.

I’d like to clarify this part of your question:

an application running in my desktop browser (Mac or PC)

By “application” I presume you’re talking about a website loaded into the browser. So the workflow might be something like:

  1. The user runs Safari on their Mac and navigates to your website.

  2. The user runs your app on their iOS device, which is on the same Wi-Fi as their Mac.

  3. Your iOS app provides some UI to transfer an image to the locally running website.

Is that correct?
