ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (200) for interfacing with a restricted access computer (10) includes a data storage component (202), a peripheral component (204), and an interface controller (206). The interface controller (206) enables electronic communication between the peripheral component (204) and the computer (10) and between the data storage component (202) and the computer (10). The interface controller (206) communicates data to the computer (10) indicating to the computer (10) that the computer (10) is operable to interact with the peripheral component using software already installed on the computer (10). The computer (10) automatically executes a computer program stored on the data storage component (202) of the apparatus (200) that enables the computer (10) to transparently encrypt and decrypt data via a biometrically secure process.
