A personal key having an inexpensive and robust integrated USB connector is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a circuit board having a processor and a plurality of conductive traces communicatively coupling the processor to a peripheral portion of the circuit board. The plurality of conductive traces includes, for example, a power trace, a ground trace, and at least two signal traces. The apparatus also comprises a first housing, having an aperture configured to accept the periphery of the circuit board therethrough, thereby presenting the plurality of conductive traces exterior to the aperture. The apparatus also comprises a shell, surrounding the plurality of conductive traces, the shell including at least one locking member interfacing with the first housing.

Integrated USB connector for personal token

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for a USB-compliant personal key has been described. The personal key includes an integrated connector design that is simple and easy to manufacture, and allows broken or defective connecting pins to be easily replaced. In the several embodiments disclosed, the personal key also comprises a biometric sensor for authenticating the identity of the user, and visual and aural sensors for providing information to the user.

USB-compliant personal key

A compact hardware key for protecting software executing on a computer is disclosed. The hardware key uses a two piece insulator design in which each insulator piece provides a double layer insulator body for protection from tampering, insulator areas for electrically isolating I/O connector pins, and an integral circuit board support portion for securely mounting the circuit board assembly. The compact hardware key also comprises a unique coaxially displaced interrupt pin structure.
