  • Patent number: 10169563
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and device for accessing encrypted data. A communication link may be established between an authorization dongle and a secure device having encrypted data stored thereon. A communication link may also be established between the authorization dongle and a secure server. An encryption key associated with the encrypted data may be received from the secure server. The encryption key may be stored in volatile memory on the authorization dongle. An indication that a user is attempting to access the encrypted data may be received. The encryption key may be transmitted from the authorization dongle to the secure device in response to the user attempting to access the encrypted data.
