Abstract
A module includes a processor, a memory, a communication interface to provide a communication channel between the module and a computer, and a bus that communicatively connects the processor, memory, and communication interface. The memory can include an internal routine that sends a data instance to the computer via the communication channel. The data instance can be used for user authentication and/or user authorization. The data instance can be generated, or referenced from the memory, by the module. The communication channel can be hard-wired or wireless.
