Security Module Protecting the Privacy of Mobile Communication

摘要

This article describes a communication system that protects user data against theft or damage. In addition to any standard communications system elements the described communication system includes a security module. The security module is installed on the data transmission bus between the processor and communications. The security module includes a processing unit, capable of handling data according to a particular algorithm: encryption, masking or other. It eliminates the possibility of the transmission of any data to communication modules due to undocumented features of the processor, or any other module of the mobile device. The operating system and the security module only know the processing algorithm. Consequently, no information, other than that sent to the operating system leaves the device. The security module provides security and confidentiality of data; it does not require the production of a special security processor or any other units and can be implemented on the element base of leading world manufacturers.
