Abstract

A method and device for securing data transmission via an embedded system that is operationally coupled to a local device and a remote computing system using a network is provided. The method includes, determining if data received from the remote computing system is secured, handshaking with the remote computing system if the data received is from a new connection; decrypting the secured data; and transmitting the decrypted data to the local device. The method also includes, determining if the data received from the local device is from a new connection, handshaking with the remote computing system if the data received is from a new connection; encrypting the data; and transmitting the encrypted data to the remote computing system. A receiving module determines whether input data needs to be encrypted or decrypted; a processing module for encrypting and/or decrypting input data; and an output module for transmitting encrypted and/decrypted data.
