## Abstract

Provided is a system and apparatus employing an extremely secure method of encrypting both wireless internet connections and wireless peripherals to a computer, cellphone, tablet, TV, stereo, or any other wireless device. The method differs from other techniques in that it generates more unique random seeds from which to generate incredibly long security keys between two or more devices. The system also acts as a filter between computers and devices so that infected devices cannot infect the host when generating keys. It uses secure data cables which generate no electromagnetic fields. It can also detect an attempt to tap into the line to snoop on the keys created. It also generates private/private security keys for wireless/internet use.
