Secure computing environment in a transportable container

A secure container comprising:

• at least one connection to a network;
• one or more container servers providing services over the network, wherein at least one of the one or more container servers requires a container server cryptographic key to access its data;
• one or more sensors monitoring physical security of the secure container;
• and
• at least one security server communicationally coupled to the one or more container servers and the one or more sensors, wherein the at least one security server provides the container server cryptographic key to the at least one of the one or more container servers if the communicational coupling between the at least one security server and the one or more sensors has remained uninterrupted since the secure container was last sealed and if sensor data from the one or more sensors indicates that the secure container has remained sealed since it was last sealed.

A method of authorizing a secure container comprising one or more container servers, one or more sensors and at least one security server, the method comprising the steps of:

• verifying proper operation of the one or more sensors;
• sealing the secure container after the verifying;
• and
• authorizing the secure container with a management server external to the secure container, the authorizing enabling the management server to provide a security server cryptographic key to the at least one security server, the security server cryptographic key enabling the at least one security server to access its data.
