1. A secure access device comprising:
a memory;
an interface controller coupled to the memory and for coupling to an external data channel, the interface controller configured to disable access to the memory via the external data channel until a user is authenticated;
an encryption engine in the interface controller for encrypting data to be stored in the memory;
an electro mechanical input mechanism for entering authentication information;
a wireless transceiver for radiofrequency communication outside the external data channel; and
an authentication subsystem configured to receive the authentication information via the electro-mechanical input mechanism and configured to receive the authentication information via the wireless transceiver, the authentication subsystem further configured to send an unlock command to the interface controller to enable access to the memory via the external data channel after authenticating the authentication information.
