Abstract: A keyboard encryption system that enables encryption of keystrokes prior to their entry into a remote desktop. An encryption device is attached via a keyboard cable to a keyboard at one end and to a keyboard socket on a computer on the other end. A remote desktop connection allows for communication between the computer and a remote desktop server. The encryption device contains encryption software to encrypt each keystroke as it is received. The encryption device contains a unique serial number that allows it recognized by decryption software installed on the remote desktop server. The serial number is the primary key for the decryption software to decipher the encrypted keystrokes.
