In an embodiment, secure module (102) provides access keys (e.g., encryption keys 122) to unsecured system (126). In an embodiment, secure module (102) may generate passcodes and supply passcodes to unsecured system (126). In an embodiment, the access keys are sent to unsecured system (126) after the receiving the passcode from unsecured system (126). In an embodiment, after authenticating the passcode, secure module (102) does not store the passcode in memory (110). In an embodiment, unsecured module (126) requires the access key to execute a set of instructions or another entity. In an embodiment, unsecured system (126) does not store access keys. In an embodiment, unsecured system (126) erases the acccess key once unsecured system (126) no longer requires the access key. In an embodiment, the unsecured system receives a new passcode to replace the stored passcode after using the stored passcode. Each of these embodiments may be used separately. |
