A universal serial bus (USB) dongle device includes a USB interface for receiving a video signal in a first format and for sending a processed video signal in a second format wherein the first format differs from the second format. An encoding module generates the processed video signal based on the video signal. In a further embodiment, A video card includes a video receiver for receiving a video signal in a first format, based on a selection command. An encoding module generates a processed video signal in a second format based on the video signal, wherein the first format differs from the second format. A USB interface transfers the processed video signal to the host device, receives the selection command from the host device and receives a power signal from the host device to power the video receiver and the encoding module.

Dongle device with video encoding and methods for use therewith

A device includes a key store memory that stores one or more cryptographic keys. A rule set memory stores a set of rules for accessing the cryptographic keys. A key store arbitration module grants access to the cryptographic keys in accordance with the set of rules. The device can be used in conjunction with a key ladder. The device can include a one-time programmable memory and a load module that transfers the cryptographic keys from the one one-time programmable memory to the key store memory and the set of rules to the rule set memory. A validation module can validate the cryptographic keys and the set of rules stored in the key store and rule set memories, based on a signature defined by a signature rule.

Secure key access with one-time programmable memory and applications thereof

A universal serial bus (USB) dongle device includes a USB interface that receives selection data from a host device that indicates a selection of a first video format from a plurality of available formats. The USB interface also receives an input video signal from the host device in the first video format and a power signal from the host device. An encoding module generates a processed video signal in a second video format based on the input video signal, wherein the first video format differs from the second video format. The USB interface transfers the processed video signal to the host device.
