Patent

CA 2283832

An encryption module for encrypting financial and other sensitive data may be conveniently interposed in series between a personal computer and the keyboard associated therewith. An application program designed to run on the PC is configured to prompt the user to enter his PIN or other confidential data into the encryption module; consequently the confidential data need not be transmitted in an unencrypted fashion, and need not reside on the PC hard drive in an unencrypted form.

L'invention concerne un module de chiffrage servant à chiffrer des données financières et d'autres données sensibles. Le module peut être aisément placé en série entre un ordinateur personnel et le clavier associé à celui-ci. Un programme d'application conçu pour être exécuté sur l'ordinateur personnel est configuré de façon à inviter l'utilisateur à introduire son code PIN ou d'autres données confidentielles dans le module de chiffrement; en conséquence, il n'est pas nécessaire de transmettre les données confidentielles de manière chiffrée, et de les laisser sous forme chiffrée dans le disque dur de l'ordinateur personnel.
