Description

The invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to the field of means for introducing identification information into computer equipment, mainly to work computers.

In the future, when disclosing the developed method, the following terms will be used:

- "Key information". Within the framework of the developed technical solution, this term means., Information, including but not limited to a key or keys for encryption / decryption, operation algorithms used to decrypt previously encrypted data.

- “working computer” within the framework of this development means a computer or computer-based device (for example, a payment terminal) into which the User must enter identification information.

- “personal computer” - within the framework of this development, it means a computer or device based on a computer (for example, a mobile phone) in which the User stores his identification information and in which the appropriate software is installed to work on the proposed method.

Known (RU, patent 2142158 publ. 11/27/1999) a computing system containing an auxiliary data processor, and the data stream source is configured to generate a data stream, additionally including auxiliary data, including identification data, and the client computer is made the ability to extract auxiliary data (identification data) from the data stream and supply them to the auxiliary data processor.

A disadvantage of the known technical solution should recognize its complexity, in particular, the use of an auxiliary processor.

There is a known (RU, patent 2473433, publ. 01/27/2013) method for repairing complex technical systems, including weapon systems and military equipment, based on the use of a mobile repair and diagnostic complex, controlled by computer technology. When implementing the well-known complex, identification information is introduced into the computer used by using an additional remote term, using which the specified information is entered into the computer.

A disadvantage of the known technical solution should recognize its complexity and the equipment used, and the implementation, as well as the inapplicability to mass domestic use.

The technical problem solved by the developed method is to provide the possibility of introducing identification information into the means of computer technology.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the developed method consists in simplifying the input of identification information while increasing the security of the input information.

To achieve the specified technical result, it is proposed to use the developed method for entering identification information into a personal computer.

When implementing the developed method, the user first enters the key information to the encrypted identification information stored on the personal computer into a portable reprogrammable device with non-volatile memory.

If it is necessary to enter identification information, the user connects the reprogrammable device to the working computer, selects the necessary identification information using a personal computer and transfers it to the reprogrammable device, which, based on the key information, decrypts it and automatically enters it into the work computer.

In some embodiments of the developed method, a personal computer is used as a working computer, to which a reprogrammable device is connected.

In some embodiments of the developed method, the decrypted information is entered into the fields indicated by the user with a delay necessary for the user to switch from the selection list to the service used to enter identification information.

Preferably, the delay is carried out using the software used. Although other options for the implementation of the trait are possible.

Also in some implementations, after decrypting the data, it is possible to automatically start the service, enter identification information in the required fields and enter the service.

If it is not possible to connect to a working computer, the programmable device can be connected to any suitable power source, and when the user selects the necessary identification information, the device will decrypt it and then output it back to the personal computer for manual input by the user into the working computer. This makes it possible to decrypt the existing encrypted identification information and use it even when automatic input is unavailable, due to the inability to connect the device to a working computer.

Example

Traditionally, the existing method of inputting indication information into a working computer is implemented as follows.

To work, in particular, with mail through a browser (for example mail.ru), the user on a working computer needs to launch a browser, type the address of the mail site in the address bar (www.mail.ru), and then type the name of the mailbox in the appropriate fields (login) and password. With this method, the input of identification information is performed, as a rule, manually, from the keyboard.

It is pretty fast and not complicated. It is also not difficult for one mailbox to remember the identification information, quickly and accurately type it on the keyboard when entering and keep it secret.

However, in modern conditions, due to the widespread use of the Internet and an increasing number of convenient services based on it (mail, chat rooms, games, social networks, online stores, government services, etc.), as well as wide the use of networks and computers in operation, for entering which you need to enter identification information, the number of services connected by the user is growing, and therefore the number of identification information is growing.

Since work with these services, both personal and work, can be carried out mobile, at any point where there is a connection (home, work, Internet cafe, visiting, on a business trip, on vacation, etc.), it is desirable for the user always have all identification information with you.

It is already impossible to remember such a quantity of identification information and, usually, the user stores it on a personal computer (usually a mobile phone) which he always takes with him.

If it is necessary to enter identification information, the user opens the file on a personal computer, finds the necessary identification information and types it on the keyboard of a working computer.

However, in this case, the following inconvenience is manifested:

- as a rule, the screen on a mobile phone is small and finding the necessary records is difficult;

- the font is small and gaining identification information, and in particular a long and complex password, it is easy to make a mistake;

- Intense peeking at the mobile phone, then at the keyboard, then at the screen of a working computer tears eyesight;

And if you add that the user needs to perform such actions several times a day, or even at an o'clock, sometimes in an uncomfortable place and at a limited time (for example, standing in line)?

And if you add that at this moment someone can stand behind him and peek at the slowly entered identification information?

And if you add that a mobile phone can steal (or find a lost one), find this file and gain access to all user services?

Those. the current method for entering identification information is inconvenient and unsafe.

The hardware and software products on the market aimed at solving certain security problems (smart cards, tokens, electronic keys, data encryption on a personal computer, etc.) are highly specialized, do not provide a holistic solution to these problems, and do not offer a way for universal , fast, convenient, safe and easy to enter identification information for mass use.

When implementing the proposed method on a personal computer (mobile phone), identification information is stored in encrypted form, and key information needed for decryption is recorded by the user and stored on a separate mobile, small reprogrammable device. The identification information is supplemented by the name of the service that the user sets, and can be placed in hierarchical structures (folders, for example, "mail", "shops", "public services" ...) for various types of services that are also specified by the user, for ease of search.

If it is necessary to enter identification information, this device is connected to a working computer, and the user launches software that shows him only a list of service names, large and searchable. Having quickly found the necessary service, the user clicks on it and the program transfers the encrypted identification information of this service to the device.

The device, having received the information, decrypts it and transfers it quickly and without errors to the working computer, to the service fields specified by the user.

If it is not possible to connect the device to a working computer, it can be connected to any suitable power source (for example, to a power supply unit, a unit with batteries or batteries, a personal computer, it is also possible to use a device with autonomous power supply) and, after receiving encrypted data, decrypt and return them back to the personal computer, so that in this case the user could enter them manually into the work computer.

Thus, all the problems of the traditional method are solved:

- storage is now more secure since the data is encrypted and the loss of a mobile phone is not critical (and in case of loss of a device it is easy to restore it to the user);

- it is easy for the user to find the desired service from the list without remembering any identification data;

- the user does not need to independently, long and hard to type identification information on a working computer, making mistakes, nervous and impaired vision. Everything is done automatically, quickly and without errors.

- the method allows you to enter identification information even in the case when connecting the device to a working computer is not possible.

In addition, the use of this method does not require special knowledge, is universal when connected and is accessible to the mass consumer, providing him with comfort and safety in work.
