DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SECURITY HANDSHAKING USING MIXED MEDIA

摘要

A method and device for private/public key encryption using optical media. A key pair is generated, and the public key pair is stored on the optical media (13). The media (13) is scanned and the optical media characteristics are used to hash stored information with the private key. The hashed version of the private key is then stored on the optical media (13). A read/write unit may subsequently de-hash the private key for encryption of data files.
