PROVIDING DATA SECURITY WITH A TOKEN DEVICE
First Claim
1. A token device for providing security to access and store data, comprising:
- a private data conceal engine configured to transfer first information for display from the token device to a first computing device at a first time, the token device connected to the first computing device and the first information describing public data stored on the token device;
wherein the private data conceal engine is further configured to conceal second information stored to the token device, the second information describes a plurality of directories of private data, wherein the second information is not displayed by the first computing device at the first time; and
an authentication engine configured to verify that a user has generated one or more passwords to obtain one or more of the plurality of directories, and wherein in response to the user generating the one or more passwords, the one or more of the plurality of directories is displayed by the first computing device at a second time.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing security to access and store data may include transferring first information for display from a token device having a memory to a first computing device at a first time, the token device connected to the first computing device and the first information describing public data stored on the token device. A request to retrieve a root directory of private data may be received, the request specifying a root directory name. In response to receiving the request to retrieve a root directory of private data, the root directory may be requested by establishing a wireless connection between the token device and a server computing device, transferring the root directory name to the server computing device, wherein the root directory name is used as a password to retrieve the root directory, and receiving the root directory from the server computing device by the token device.
