Apparatus for use with a computer to secure the computer's stored data against malware in the computer's central processing unit (CPU). The apparatus comprises a keyboard and display. The keyboard is connected to the computer's central bus, and a secure connection to the computer's data storage device. The secure connection is operable independent of the CPU. The storage device comprises a file system to manage the stored data independent of the CPU. The keyboard is configured for displaying, on the display, the stored data independent of the CPU. The keyboard, storage device and secure connection operate to protect data and prevent the CPU from accessing the protected data. The computer may be networked and configured to authenticate the computer's user and securely communicate data between another network computer and the keyboard and/or monitor of the computer independent of the computer's CPU. |
