User Authentication System and Method for Encryption and Decryption
First Claim
1. A system configured to authenticate a user for encryption or decryption, the system comprising:
- a user authentication apparatus;
a computer-readable medium storing user identifying information and encryption and decryption data; and
an encryption and decryption computer communicating with the user authentication apparatus and configured to;
receive an application programming interface (API) for interfacing with the user authentication apparatus;
receive from the computer-readable medium via the API the user identifying information;
authenticate a user based on the user identifying information; and
read via the API the encryption and decryption data once the user is authenticated.

Abstract
A system configured to authenticate a user for encryption or decryption includes a user authentication apparatus, a computer-readable medium operable to communicate with the user authentication apparatus, and an encryption and decryption computer communicating with the user authentication apparatus. The computer-readable medium may store user identifying information and encryption and decryption data. The encryption and decryption computer may be configured to receive an application programming interface (API) for interfacing with the user authentication apparatus and receive the user identifying information from the computer-readable medium via the API. A user may be authenticated based on the user identifying information and, once the user is authenticated, the encryption and decryption data may be read.
