Abstract:
1. A personal data storage apparatus comprised of: a. a first personal data storage device including a memory device storing: b. a first interface circuit coupled to said memory device granting conditional access to a third device to data therein using an appropriate data exchange protocol between the first personal data storage device and the third device only when a second personal data storage device is operatively coupled to said first personal data storage device; c. a second interface circuit coupled to said memory device and providing communications access to the second personal data storage device; and d. a processor, operatively coupled to said memory device and to said first and second interface circuits, the processor configured to adjust the first set of user data to create an adjusted first set of user data in response to a transaction with the third device, the processor further configured to encrypt the adjusted first set of user data to create an encrypted adjusted first set of user data, and the processor further configured to transfer the encrypted adjusted first set of user data to the second personal data storage device via the second interface circuit.
