Abstract
The invention discloses a small token device, ideally about the size of a key, which can plug into the USB interface of a host computer, which need not be fully trusted, and handle a variety of different security functions. The device is capable of serving as a secure USB hub, and thus can function on a host computer that only has one available USB port. Among the multiple functions that the device can perform include communicating through the internet in a secure manner, storing data in a secure manner, and access secure information through public key (PKI) methods. The invention also allows secure USB peripherals to maintain security while being hooked up to either a non-secure host computer or other non-secure USB peripherals.
