- 20. Secure data transfer apparatus comprising a housing including first and second devices mounted therein in a predetermined normal configuration for normal operation wherein secure data transfer takes place between the devices, the first device being configured so that in response to being placed in a predetermined initialisation configuration different from the normal configuration an initialization data transfer is enabled between the devices to enable normal operation to occur thereafter in said normal configuration.
- 25. A method of enabling an initialization data transfer between a first device to be mounted in a housing in a predetermined normal configuration for normal operation and second device mounted in the housing, comprising detecting when the first device is in a predetermined initialisation configuration different from the normal configuration and enabling an initialization data transfer between the devices for permitting normal operation to occur thereafter in said normal configuration.
