1. A method for real-time decryption of encrypted data onboard a personal electronic device using a user-defined digital code stored on a unitary mobile apparatus comprising the steps of:
- connecting a remote computer to an external port means onboard the unitary mobile apparatus;
writing at least one user password corresponding to a user account to a flash memory onboard the unitary mobile apparatus using a flashing program,wherein the flashing program runs onboard the remote computer;
writing at least one decryption key to a flash memory onboard the unitary mobile apparatus;
whereby after obtaining a request for access to encrypted data onboard the personal electronic device,the personal electronic device sends a request for a digital key to the unitary mobile apparatus using Bluetooth communication;
whereby after receipt of at least one decryption key from the unitary mobile apparatus,the personal electronic device can generate a second decryption key using said at least one decryption key,the personal electronic device decrypts the encrypted data from the first storage device using said second decryption key or the at least one decryption key, andthe personal electronic device presents the decrypted data to the user.

11. A method for managing data comprising:
-
generating at least one first private key and a corresponding at least one first public key, connecting a remote computer to an external port onboard a unitary mobile apparatus; writing the at least one first private key to a flash memory onboard the unitary mobile apparatus using a flashing program, wherein the unitary mobile apparatus comprises a Bluetooth transceiver, wherein said flashing program runs onboard said remote computer; sending the at least one first public key to a remote device, whereby the remote device can use the at least one first public key to encrypt data, whereby the remote device can write the encrypted data to a storage device, whereby said third remote device can obtain the at least one first private key from the unitary mobile apparatus using Bluetooth communication whereby the third remote device decrypts data using the at least one first private key. - View Dependent Claims (12)
