Patent ID: 8010789

Claim:
A method for securing data transmission via an embedded system that is operationally coupled to a local device and a remote computing system using a network, comprising: providing at least a first connector and a second connector whereby the first connector provides physical connectivity with a remote host and includes an RJ-45 jack and further whereby the second connector couples system with a local device; the first and second connectors determine when data received from the remote computing system is secured; the first and second connector have random access memory wherein at least one of the first connector or second connector identifies the media access controller address of a local device so that an embedded system appears as the legacy device itself; providing an internal database which is used to determine which data to secure; handshaking with the remote computing system when the data-received is from a new connection; decrypting secured data utilizing a data exchange wherein decryption techniques are based on SSL, SSH and AES standards; stripping data headers before being sending to the remote computing system; and transmitting the decrypted data to the local device via a connector.
