Abstract: The invention concerns a device for reading and encrypting sensitive data which are to be transmitted by way of a remote transmission network (7) to a central server (9). Particularly secure data transmission can be ensured if the system includes a reading unit (2) for reading the data, an encryption unit (3) connected thereto for encryption of the data, and a computer (4) which is connected to the encryption unit and which receives the data already encrypted from the encryption unit (3) and sends the encrypted data by way of a network interface (11) and the remote transmission network (7) to the central server (9).
