Claim Text:
1. A computing system comprising: an input apparatus configured to receive an input from a user; a display configured to display the input; a bus configured to communicate the input to the display; a processing unit configured to process data and commands received via the bus; an input capture module isolated from a less secure part of the computing system, the isolation configured to prevent corruption of the input capture module by computing instructions received from outside of the input capture module, wherein the isolation of the input capture module from the less secure part of the computing system is achieved by limiting external control of the secure input module to no more than setting of one or more flags, the input capture module comprising: storage configured to store an encryption key or certificate such that the encryption key or certificate cannot be read from outside the input capture module, means for receiving image data resulting from the input apparatus, and logic configured to encrypt or certify the data resulting from the input apparatus, the encryption or certification using the encryption key or certificate and occurring within the input capture module; and communication logic configured to communicate an output of the logic to a communication network.
