Abstract
The present invention is directed to provide security to a modular computing system. The system provides physical locks to prevent tempering with its wall mounted components and logical means to prevent access to data. In the embodiment of the invention, plurality of wall-mounted housings comprise of location memory chip, each programmed with ID number. Said ID number is used by a server to monitor the integrity of the system, to prevent or enable access to data and to issue an alert when an unauthorized activity is detected.
Claims21
A secured data system comprising:
- a server located in trusted zone providing secured data to at least one external computing device;
- a LAN switch connected to said server and to plurality of housing for insertable computing device;
- at least one insertable computing device inserted into said housing and located in said trusted zone for decrypting said secured data and providing decrypted data to said external computing device.
Method for securing data system comprising the steps of:
- providing a server;
- providing a LAN switch connected to said server and to plurality of housing for insertable computing device, wherein each housing comprises a location memory chip;
- inserting a tester modular insert to at least one of said housing;
- and
- programming said location memory chip with an ID number.
The method for securing data system of claim 16 wherein said alert comprises an indication as to the physical location of the housing in which the mismatch was discovered.
A secured data system with several security levels comprising:
- a server providing encrypted data to at least one external computing device;
- a LAN switch connected to said server and to at least first and second housings for insertable computing device;
- at least first and second external computing devices;
- at least first and second insertable computing devices inserted into said first and second housings respectively and providing data to said first and second external computing devices respectively,
- wherein second insertable computing device is configured to allow said second external computing device access to higher classification data.
The secured data system with several security level of claim 20 wherein said second external computing device access to higher classification data is through a VPN tunneling.
The secured data system according to claim 21 wherein said providing secured data to at least one external computing device comprises of encrypting said data by software in said server.
The secured data system according to claim 21 wherein said providing secured data to at least one external computing device comprises of encrypting said data by a firewall.
