A secure, open-air communication system utilizes a plurality of “decoy” data signals to hide one or more true data signals. The true data signal(s) are channel hopped with the plurality of decoy data signals to form a multi-channel “scrambled” output signal that is thereafter transmitted in an open-air communication system. The greater the number of decoy signals, the greater the security provided to the open-air system. Further security may be provided by encrypting both the true and decoy signals prior to scrambling and / or by utilizing a spatially diverse set of transmitters and receivers. Without the knowledge of the channel assignment(s) for the true signal(s), an eavesdropper may be able to intercept (and, with time, perhaps descramble) the open-air transmitted signals, will not be able to distinguish the true data from the decoys without also knowing the channel assignment(s).

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus of space-saved type that can execute the processing corresponding to a security function module. A security function module storing a device key is integrally arranged in an MPU chip, the secret data including programs and data to be applied to the data processing to be executed in the security function module are encrypted with the device key or attached with a falsification verification value and the resultant programs and data are stored in an external storage section. This novel configuration can significantly reduce the amount of data to be stored in the security function module and therefore eliminate the necessity for a large-capacity flash memory. Consequently, the security function module can be integrally arranged in the MPU chip having the main CPU, thereby significantly reducing the packaging area and the production cost.

A computer program product for securely updating a website is installed on a computer, uses a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, and may be used as a multi user, multi site, and multi project with varying per user permissions. A CMS stores the information in a database that can be displayed on a website, and is secured with a hashed password and content can be encrypted. The CMS can store miscellaneous language modes that are color coded such as PHP, JS, CSS, Java, and HTML. There are thus no passwords found in the website source files that make it possible to modify the database content. The security remains solely in the hands of the application and limits hacking. The program product is accessible from a computer-usable or computer-readable medium providing program code for use by or in connection with a computer or any instruction execution system.
