Abstract: In a portable digital data storage device, a connector is attachable to a digital data processor to provide electric connection with the digital data processor. A non-volatile memory module includes a first logic unit for storing data and a second logic unit for storing therein an application program. The application program is automatically executed when the connector is electrically connected to the digital data processor to provide a user's operation interface. A verifying unit executes a verifying procedure for information entered via the user's operation interface. Under the control of a control unit, the digital data processor is disallowed to access to the first logic unit through the connector until the correctness of the information entered via the user's operation interface is verified by the verifying unit.
