Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a processor means; a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores secure digital data; a gesture-based input interface coupled to the processor means and configured to receive one or more commands, wherein to receive a command, the gesture-based input interface is configured to detect one or more physical gestures; an output interface coupled to the processor means; wherein the gesture-based input interface is configured to receive one or more commands, via one or more physical gestures, requesting access to the secure digital data stored in the memory; wherein the processor means is configured to validate commands, received via the gesture-based input interface, requesting access to secure digital data stored in the memory; and wherein the output interface is configured to provide secure digital data stored in the memory in response to a processor means validated command received via the gesture-based input interface requesting access to the secure digital data stored in the memory; a mechanism configured to detect tampering with the apparatus or detect a self-destruct command, wherein the mechanism is further configured to permanently disable access to the secure digital data in the memory in response to the detection of tampering with the apparatus or in response to the detection of the self-destruct command; and a proof-of-destruction component; wherein the mechanism is further configured to prevent removal of the proof-of-destruction component until after access to the secure digital data in the memory has been permanently disabled.
