Patent ID: 8826384

Claim:
An encryption/decryption device comprising: an encryption module configured to: define a demarcation between a secure side of the encryption/decryption device and a non-secure side of the encryption/decryption device, communicate with a first processor on the secure side of the encryption/decryption device, and communicate with a second processor on the non-secure side of the encryption/decryption device; the second processor configured to: attempt to access a network, receive condition data generated by a network gatekeeper, wherein the condition data indicates at least one network condition to be accepted in order to access the network, and send the condition data to the first processor via the encryption module, wherein the condition data is sent to the second processor via the encryption module in an unencrypted form; and the first processor configured to, in response to receiving the condition data, send an acceptance signal via the encryption module to the second processor, wherein the encryption module is configured to block unencrypted data other than the acceptance signal from being communicated from the first processor to the second processor; and the second processor further configured to send acceptance data indicating acceptance of the at least one network condition to the network gatekeeper based on receiving the acceptance signal from the first processor via the encryption module.
