Abstract
Systems and methods for a smart card accessible over a personal area network (PAN). An example method may include: communicatively coupling a device to the PAN, storing a digital certificate that identifies a user, logging the user on to an additional device within the PAN, and providing an encryption service for the additional device, by: receiving a message to be encrypted, encrypting the message, sending the encrypted message to the additional device via the PAN, receiving an encrypted version of an additional message, decrypting the additional message using the private key associated with the user to produce an unencrypted version of the additional message, and sending the unencrypted version of the additional message to the additional device via the PAN.
