Abstract: A method and apparatus encrypting data for use by an application includes receiving a first clear data in a security application running concurrently with the application. The security application encrypts the first clear data to generate a first encrypted package and distributes the encrypted package for use by the application or by other applications running concurrently with the application. The security application also receives and decrypts encrypted packages from the application or one of the other applications to provide clear data for use by the application. The security application may be implemented as a data entry utility that can be accessed directly by the application.

Abstract: A data transcoding device includes a memory device for storing clear data containing private information and a processor configured as a data transcoder. The processor is configured to create packets of the clear data, prepare the packets for transcoding the clear data into an indecipherable multimedia data file appearing as noise, by determining properties of the indecipherable multimedia file based on parameters of the clear data. The processor is configured to generate the indecipherable multimedia file by transcoding the clear data based on the determined properties.
