Patent number: 9697389Abstract: A reader device includes a housing for receiving a smart card, a processor in electronic communication with an integrated circuit chip of the smart card when the smart card is received in the housing, a wireless communications device in electronic communication with the processor for enabling the reader device to transmit first encrypted information wirelessly and to receive second encrypted information wirelessly, and a memory in electronic communication with the processor that includes one or more routines executable by the processor. The one or more routines include a cryptographic module adapted to encrypt first information to create the first encrypted information and decrypt the second encrypted information to obtain second information. In addition, a communication system that includes the reader device and a computing device, wherein the reader device and computing device are able to wirelessly exchange information in a secure manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Mihal Lazaridis, Kwok Ching Leung, Benjamin William Boomhour, Scott Douglas Rose, Scott William Totzke, Ryan Mitchell Bayne, Herbert Anthony Little
