Credential communication device
First Claim
1. A credential communication device adapted to transmit and receive data, including means to process said data in order to effect mutual credential verification and trusted mutual recognition between the device and a second credential communication device, without reference to a third party, further including at least one proximity conductor adapted to be controlled to transmit and receive at least some data only when in such physical proximity to a second credential communication device as to effectively exclude the possibility of third party involvement in the transmission and reception of said data.

24. A set of devices where a first of the devices is adapted to hold information in an electronic storage and effect transmission of such information upon a triggering of such transmission, and a second device is adapted to hold data in an electronic storage and adapted to receive transmissions from said first device and effect a comparison of such received data with that being held by said second device and when such received data is matching preselected criteria effect an output signal to this effect, the respective devices being adapted to effect a transmission and receiving of data between the devices only when in a selected range of distance apart or when touching, said devices being adapted to effect mutual credential verification, the devices being further adapted such that they will transmit and receive at least some data only when in such physical proximity as to effectively exclude the possibility of third party involvement in the transmission and reception of data.
