Secured Computer System Over Optical Networks

A computer system comprising:

• an electro-optical transducer integrated into a web-connected computer or directly connected thereto;
• a light beam splitter configured to split a beam of light encoding data communicated over a public computer network into at least a first optical communication path and a second optical communication path;
• a lock computer along the first optical communication path, the second optical communication path formed along an optical-fiber cable configured to terminate at the optical-electrical transducer of the web-connected computer, the lock computer including a controllable switch configured to allow or disallow the data to be communicated along the first optical communication path between the light beam splitter and a modem downstream of the light beam splitter;
• a second electro-optical transducer configured to be operably connected to the modem to convert the data in response to the controllable switch being configured to allow the data to be communicated, the controllable switch being controlled by the lock computer;
• and
• a main computer coupled to the web-connected computer via the lock computer such that direct and counter dataflows between the main computer and the web-connected computer are unconditionally physically separated by two physically separated unidirectional interfaces, wherein one of the two unidirectional interfaces is configured to provide a direct dataflow exclusively from the web-connected computer to the main computer, and wherein the other of the two unidirectional interfaces is configured to provide a counter dataflow exclusively from the main computer to the web-connected computer, the lock computer including:
• a core computer;
• the output transducer of the unidirectional interface providing unidirectional data flow from the lock computer to the main computer;
• the input transducer of the unidirectional interface providing unidirectional data flow from the main computer to the lock computer;
• the output transducer of said unidirectional interface providing unidirectional data flow from said lock computer to the web-connected computer;
• and
• the input transducer of the unidirectional interface providing unidirectional data flow from web connected computer to the lock computer.
