A computer input device for operation with a computer includes an input transducer, which is coupled to receive an input from a user and to generate a data signal responsively to the input. An encryption processor is coupled to process the data signal so as to output data to the computer. The encryption processor has a first operational mode in which the encryption processor encrypts the data signal using an encryption key not accessible to the computer so that the data are unintelligible to the computer, and a second operational mode in which the data are intelligible to the computer. A mode switch is operative so as to switch between the first and second operational modes of the encryption processor. An output transducer is coupled to provide to the user an indication of whether the encryption processor is in the first or the second operational mode.
A computer input device for operation with a computer, comprising:
A method for inputting data to a computer, comprising:
A method for inputting data to a computer, comprising:
Computing apparatus, comprising:
A computer software product, comprising a tangible computer-readable medium in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to receive data input to the computer from an input device operated by a user, the input device having a first user-selectable operational mode in which the input device encrypts the data input and a second user-selectable operational mode in which the data input is unencrypted, and to detect that the data input made to the computer by the user via the input device for entry in a secret data field is unencrypted, and to initiate a preventive action responsively to detecting that the data input is unencrypted.
