Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011117664A1] An apparatus for sending or receiving a cryptographic key through a fiber optic connection may include a fiber optic module (80) for sending or receiving the cryptographic key and converting the cryptographic key from or to electronic data. The cryptographic key may be stored in a memory device (76). A cryptography module (82) may allow the apparatus to securely transmit sensitive data. The apparatus may send or receive the cryptographic key through a fiber optic connection (18) which may include a data cable. The apparatus may include a battery (78) which is charged through an electrical connection (16) such as through a power cable. The apparatus may in some embodiments be embodied in a charger (12) for a user terminal (50a), or in the user terminal (50a) itself.
