Secure Your Data: Innovative LCD Encryption Method Explained

The novelty of the present invention is to prevent the disturbance of encryption systems and thus lead to better data se-curity. In addition it is aimed at users who have little or no background knowledge. The inventive approach to security is based on the combination of an LCD display and the encryption method “One Time Pad”. This results in the advantage that on the user side, the compromised device (PC, smartphone, etc.) only sees the encrypted information itself. At this time the decryption takes place at a sec-ondary LCD display, which is separated with the decoding key from the actual device. Thus, none of the decoded mes-sage transmission takes place on an in-fected device (by spyware or malware), enabling secure transfer of information in spite of monitored devices and commu-nication channels.
