SECURED PERSONAL DATA HANDLING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. Apparatus managing personal and secured data and documentation files stored in the apparatus, comprising:
- (a) a sensor module comprising a plurality of biometric sensors for reading a plurality of personal biological identification parameters of the user holding the apparatus, said apparatus being uniquely identified with said user;
(b) a processing module in communication with said sensor module for processing said personal biological identification parameters and for processing and managing the personal and secured data and documentation files associated with said user;
(c) an authentication unit in communication with the processing module configured to receive and authenticate the identity of said user by comparing said user'"'"'s personal biological identification parameters read, by the sensor module and processed by the processing module, with a pre-recorded set of personal biological identification parameters stored in said authentication unit;
(d) an encryption module in communication with said processing module for the encryption plus compression and/or decompression plus decryption of said user'"'"'s data files;
(e) a memory module in communication with said processing module and said encryption module for the storage of said user'"'"'s data and documentation files;
(f) communication and data connection means in communication with said processing module for connecting said apparatus with an external device.wherein access to the user'"'"'s stored personal data and documentation files associated with said unique user is only enabled after positive authentication of said user'"'"'s personal biological identification parameters by said authentication unit.

Abstract
A system, method and personal apparatus for managing highly secured personal data is provided. The system and the personal apparatus are complementary, both providing highly secured personal data, mass, safe and secured data access, storage and management solutions, while serving the needs for managing and exchanging secured personal data with external services and data providers and with other such highly secured personal data users. The apparatus may be used independently of the system by securely connecting the apparatus to service providers. The apparatus, which is uniquely identified with a unique user, includes a sensor module comprising a plurality of biometric sensors for reading a plurality of personal biological identification parameters of the user and an authentication unit for positive authentication of the user'"'"'s personal biological identification parameters stored in the authentication unit. The system is designed to securely serve the needs of conducting and maintaining multiple users'"'"' personal data access, storage, updating and retrieval capabilities. The method supports the safe and secured operation of the apparatus by its owner, in order to get access to the system and to exchange highly secured personal data with external pre-registered service providers and with other registered system users.
