摘要:A electronic device is disclosed in which substantially all of the electroniccomponents of the device reside within a connector suitable for coupling to a port on acomputing device. The device, referred to as a “dongle,” may therefore have an overall
volume that is less than that of other devices for performing the same function. Thedongle may, for example, perform the function of an encryption key to protect thecomputing device against unauthorized use. The dongle may be mated with thecomputing device port, thereby enveloping substantially all of the dongle within theport. The dongle does not extend appreciably from the port to which it is mated, therebynot adding appreciably to the volume of the computing device, and thereby making iteasier to transport the computing device while the dongle is coupled to it.
