The invention relates to a digital
certificate safety lock device and a digital
certificate authentication system and method. The digital
certificate safety lock device comprises a universal
encryption and
digital signature microcontroller, an audio plug and a first modulation and
demodulation module, wherein the universal
encryption and
digital signature microcontroller is provided with an
encryption and
digital signature module and a storage for storing a digital certificate, a key of the digital certificate and encryption and decryption algorithms; and the first modulation and
demodulation module is used for modulating
data information from the encryption and digital signature module for transmitting through an MIC (
Microphone) pole of the audio plug, demodulating a
signal received from a first sound channel pole of the audio plug and transmitting the demodulated
signal to the encryption and digital signature module. The digital certificate safety lock device is provided with a universal audio interface plug which has high university and adaptability and can support communication terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) or PCs (Personal Computers) and the like, with audio interfaces. Due to the functions of independent hardware signature, digital certificate encryption and the like, the security of application logon and transactions of Internet banks or enterprises can be ensured to the maximum extent.
