Abstract
A method for inputting pin blocks to a network can include receiving a first pin from a key pad with an encryption module, which is then encrypted to a first pin block with a network encryption key and transmitted to a first computing device that inputs the first pin block to a secure network. The encryption module can also receive a second pin block from a second computing device that is physically separate from the key pad. Prior to receiving the second pin block, the encryption module can transmit a certificate and a second certificate to the second computing device. The encryption module can decrypt the second pin block to a second pin and encrypt the second pin to a third pin block with the network encryption key, for inputting the third pin block to the secure network.
