Abstract
The invention relates to a secure mobile device for storing data in a secure manner. The secure mobile device has a microarchitecture connected via an interface to flash memory on the device. The microarchitecture is able to authenticate the access of information stored on the secure mobile device using a private key. Upon authentication of the access of information, a record owner of the device may proved the stored information to third party trusted entities using an associated public key. The secure mobile device allows for secure transaction of confidential data on a variety of systems at a number of locations.
