Abstract
An apparatus for a network of computers is presented. A plurality of inner firewalls operate within a personal computer. The personal computer operates in a network of computers and includes at least one microprocessor and at least two memory components. The plurality of inner firewalls deny access to a first memory component of the personal computer by another computer through a network connection with the personal computer during a shared operation. The plurality of inner firewalls also allow access to a second memory component of the personal computer by the other computer through the network connection with the personal computer during the shared operation.
Claims52
A personal computer, comprising:
- a plurality of inner firewalls comprising at least one hardware component and/or at least one firmware component configured to operate within the personal computer, the personal computer being configured to operate in at least one network of computers,
- the personal computer comprising at least two microprocessors and at least two memory components, the at least two microprocessors being located on a single microchip;
- at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to deny access to at least one first microprocessor and at least one first memory component of the personal computer by at least one other computer through at least one network connection with the personal computer during at least one shared operation, and
- another at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to allow access to at least one second microprocessor and at least one second memory component of the personal computer by the at least one other computer through the at least one network connection with the at least one personal computer during the at least one shared operation.
The personal computer of claim of 1, wherein all files in at least one network-accessible portion of at least one non-volatile memory of the personal computer are erased when control of the at least one network-accessible portion is transferred between the at least one network and at least one user of the personal computer, the at least one network-accessible portion being located outside at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls.
The personal computer, comprising:
- a plurality of inner firewalls configured to operate within the personal computer, the personal computer being configured to operate in at least one network of computers,
- the personal computer comprising at least two microprocessors,
- at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to deny access to at least one first microprocessor of the personal computer by at least one other computer through at least one network connection with the personal computer during at least one shared operation, and
- another at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to allow access to at least one second microprocessor of the personal computer by the at least one other computer through the at least one network connection with the personal computer during the at least one shared operation.
The personal computer, comprising:
- at least one microchip comprising a plurality of inner firewalls configured to operate within the personal computer, the personal computer being configured to operate in at least one network of computers,
- at least one microchip comprising at least two microprocessors and at least two memory components,
- at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to deny access to at least one first microprocessor and at least one first memory component of the personal computer by at least one other computer through at least one network connection with the personal computer during at least one shared operation, and
- another at least one of the plurality of inner firewalls being configured to allow access to at least one second microprocessor and at least one second memory component of the personal computer by the at least one other computer through the at least one network connection with the personal computer during the at least one shared operation.
