1. A unitary mobile apparatus with a volume smaller than 30 cm3, comprising:
- a memory wherein said memory is less than 10 Mega Bytes,a short wireless transceiver,wherein upon pairing to a predefined number of authorized devices or upon detection of a predetermined number of unsuccessful pairing attempts, or upon passing of a predetermined period of time since last update,said unitary mobile apparatus goes to a non-discoverable mode,wherein upon updating said unitary mobile apparatus using a computer and a data cable,said unitary mobile apparatus can go to a discoverable mode,wherein on receipt of a connection request from a paired second apparatus said unitary mobile apparatus establishes a secure two-way wireless connection with the paired second apparatus,wherein said unitary mobile apparatus can store a first code selected from the group consisting of;
one or more digital keys, one or more encrypted digital keys, user information,wherein said unitary mobile apparatus can store at least a first function with a first identity,wherein on receipt of a transformation directive message from the paired second apparatus,wherein when said transformation directive identifies a first function stored on said mobile apparatus, the first function is applied to the first code to encode the first code,wherein said unitary mobile apparatus automatically transmits the encoded first code to said second apparatus wirelessly.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for intelligent authentication based on proximity and using a short wireless device.
The method checks if the user captured a PIN code recently and if no signal drop was detected since the last PIN capture. It obtains user data from a unitary short wireless device and authenticates it.
If the user PIN was not captured recently, or if a signal drop was recently detected, the user is asked to enter a PIN code.

8. A method comprising:
-
pairing with a remote unitary mobile apparatus, wherein said unitary mobile apparatus has a short wireless transceiver, wherein onboard memory of said unitary mobile apparatus is less than 10 Mega Bytes, wherein volume of said unitary mobile apparatus is less than 30 cm3, upon receiving a user request for access, if a connection drop was detected after the last time the user entered a user code, or if the time period elapsed since the last time the user entered a user code exceeds a predetermined period of time, requesting a user code from the user, validating said user code, sending a message comprising a transformation directive to said remote unitary mobile apparatus, wherein said transformation directive message identifies at least one first function stored onboard said remote unitary mobile apparatus, wherein said at least one first function is applied to at least one first code to encode the at least one first code, wherein upon receipt of a reply from said remote unitary mobile apparatus, applying at least one first reverse function to extract said at least one first code from said reply. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for authorization comprising:
-
pairing with a remote unitary mobile apparatus having a short wireless transceiver and a volume less than 30 cm3, upon receiving a user request for access, if a connection drop was not detected after the last time the user entered a user code, and if the time period elapsed since the last time the user entered a user code did not exceed a predetermined period of time, obtaining a second code from said paired remote unitary mobile apparatus, upon validation of said second code, automatically authorizing the user access. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
