New multi-computers architecture allows protection of personal computer by the combined hardware and software means reinforcing online security to the safety level not achievable using software security means alone. The disclosed system encompasses intermediate lock-computer and unidirectional internal interfaces based on novel principles providing complete security while sending information to world wide web and reliable filtering out of unwanted software while receiving information from Internet. One of the key principles underlying the present invention is physical separation of dataflow from web-connected computer to intermediate lock-computer to the main personal computer and the counter dataflow from main computer to lock-computer to web-connected computer. The interfaces in direct data flow from Internet to personal computer and in the counter dataflow may be based on different physical and system principles including novel two-dimensional image-based interface. Effectively, the disclosed methods and apparatuses provide five levels of computer defense, including four principally new levels of defense.
A multi-computer system comprising at least two interacting computers interconnected by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, one of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from a first of said two interacting computers to a second of said two interacting computers, and the other of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the second of said two interacting computers to the first of said two interacting computers, such that in each of said at least two interconnected computers of said multi-computer system the direct and counter dataflows are unconditionally physically separated, the multi-computer system further comprising an intermediate lock-computer, wherein any pair of computers of said multi-computer system except said lock-computer is configured to interact only through said intermediate lock-computer, wherein said intermediate lock-computer comprises:
A multi-computer system comprising at least two interacting computers interconnected by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, one of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from a first of said two interacting computers to a second of said two interacting computers, and the other of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the second of said two interacting computers to the first of said two interacting computers, such that in each of said at least two interconnected computers of said multi-computer system the direct and counter dataflows are unconditionally physically separated,
A multi-computer system comprising at least two interacting computers interconnected by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, one of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from a first of said two interacting computers to a second of said two interacting computers, and the other of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the second of said two interacting computers to the first of said two interacting computers, such that in each of said at least two interconnected computers of said multi-computer system the direct and counter dataflows are unconditionally physically separated,
A multi-computer system comprising at least two interacting computers interconnected by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, one of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from a first of said two interacting computers to a second of said two interacting computers, and the other of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the second of said two interacting computers to the first of said two interacting computers, such that in each of said at least two interconnected computers of said multi-computer system the direct and counter dataflows are unconditionally physically separated,
A multi-computer system comprising at least two interacting computers interconnected by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, one of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from a first of said two interacting computers to a second of said two interacting computers, and the other of said two unidirectional interfaces being configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the second of said two interacting computers to the first of said two interacting computers, such that in each of said at least two interconnected computers of said multi-computer system the direct and counter dataflows are unconditionally physically separated,
