SECURITY ENCRYPTION FOR WIRELESS PERIPHERALS

摘要

An apparatus is provided for securing data wirelessly transmitted between a wireless peripheral (20) and a computer (10) to which the wireless peripheral (20) is wirelessly connected. The apparatus includes: a first device (30) that is operatively connected to a first component, the first component being the wireless peripheral (20); and, a second device (32) that is operatively connected to a second component, the second component being the computer (10). Suitably, at least one of the devices is operative to encrypt data from one of the components to which it is operatively connected prior to the data being wirelessly transmitted to the other one of the components, and at least the other one of the devices is operative to decrypt the data wirelessly received at the other one of the components.
