NETWORK AND DEVICE SECURITY SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A system for providing security to user-entered inputs, the system comprising:
- a security device that is communicatively coupled between an input device and a processor of a user device, the security device being configured to;
receive a string of characters from the input device that correspond to inputs made by a user into a web browser or application on the user device that is in communication with an application server,add at least one security character to the string of characters to generate a watermark string, andtransmit the watermark string to the user device,wherein the security device is configured to format the at least one security character such that only the string of characters are displayed in the web browser or the application at the user device; and
a security server communicatively coupled between the user device and the application server, the security server configured to;
receive the watermark string from the user device,use at least one rule to identify the at least one security character within the watermark string,compare the at least one security character to one or more security rules,remove the at least one security character from the watermark string, andenable the application server to receive the string of characters for processing if the at least one security character matches at least one security rule.

Abstract
A system, apparatuses, and methods for device and network security are discussed herein. In an example, a security device for providing security to user-entered inputs includes a universal serial bus (“USB”) port configured to receive a connector of an input device and a USB connector configured to connect to a port of a user device. The apparatus also includes a processor configured to receive a string of characters from the input device that correspond to inputs made by a user into a web browser or application on the user device. The processor adds at least one security character to the string of characters to generate a watermark string, and transmits the watermark string to the user device. The processor is configured to format the at least one security character such that only the string of characters are displayed in the web browser or the application at the user device.

14. A security device apparatus for providing security to user-entered inputs, the apparatus comprising:
-
a universal serial bus (“
USB”
) port configured to receive a USB connector of an input device;a connector configured to connect to a port of a user device; and a security processor communicatively coupled to the USB port and the USB connector, the security processor configured to; receive a string of characters from the input device that correspond to inputs made by a user on the user device into a web browser or application that is in communication with an application server, add at least one security character to the string of characters to generate a watermark string where the at least one security character includes an identifier comprised of one or more identifier characters and a delete key input or a backspace key input after each of the one or more identifier characters, and transmit the watermark string to the user device, wherein the security processor is configured to format the at least one security character such that only the string of characters are displayed in the web browser or the application at the user device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
