    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus includes a crypto engine that provides device independent crypto services. The apparatus includes a housing arranged to hold a device. The apparatus also includes a non-transitory memory that further includes a key store for storing a first key. The apparatus further includes a communication device at least partially supported by the housing and connectable to the device to establish a communication channel with the device. The apparatus also includes a controller (e.g., a crypto engine) that receives, via the communication channel, a first portion of data from the device, performs a cryptographic operation on the first portion of the data using the first key to generate a modified first portion, sends, via the communication channel, the modified first portion to the device, and enables the device to derive a second portion of the data using the modified first portion.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments, a secure local application communication method is performed at a first apparatus that includes a housing arranged to hold a second apparatus, a controller, a communication interface, and a non-transitory memory storing a matrix. The secure local application communication method includes detecting, via the communication interface, a request originating from a first application executing on the second apparatus to communicate with a second application on the second apparatus. The method further includes determining whether or not to allow the request based on the matrix. The method additionally includes allowing transportation of packets from the first application to the second application in accordance with a determination of allowing the request.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments, a first apparatus that provides protocol isolation includes a controller, one or more re-configurable data communication devices operable to provide alternative transport of data for a native data communication device on a second apparatus to an external device, and one or more data converters coupled to the one or more re-configurable data communication devices. The protocol isolation method performed by the first apparatus includes establishing a local communication channel with the second apparatus. The method further includes exchanging the data via the local communication channel with the second apparatus according to a first protocol. The method also includes converting the data to a second protocol different from the first protocol. The method additionally includes exchanging, via a first re-configurable data communication device of the one or more re-configurable data communication devices, the converted data with the external device according to the second protocol.
