Patent number: 8335931Abstract: Disclosed are interconnectable personal computer architectures comprising secure, portable and persistent computing environments that provide secure computing sessions with persistence. The computing environments are implemented using a secure non-computing client device, such as a USB device, that interfaces with a host computer and, optionally, a trusted server. The secure non-computing client device is used to instantiate a secure BIOS and a secure cold or warm boot of the host computer, from the client device, in a host protected area of the host computer, or from the trusted server. The client device comprises a security device, such a trusted platform module, that encrypts and decrypts data transferred between the client apparatus and the host computer to provide a sealed computing environment on the host computer. The client device may implement keyboard logger attack prevention. The client device may also implement a high assurance guard to protect applications.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Imation Corp.Inventors: Richard M. Lee, Anthony P. Casano

Patent number: 5937200Abstract: A single controller handles keyboard functions and ACPI configuration and power management functions, while providing priority to keyboard functions so that there is no end user-perceptible compromise of keyboard functionality. When an interrupt is received by the microcontroller, it is determined whether the interrupt is an embedded controller interrupt received at the embedded controller host interface or a keyboard interrupt received at the keyboard host interface. If the interrupt is a keyboard interrupt, the keyboard function is handled in a standard fashion. If the interrupt is an embedded controller interrupt for an ACPI configuration or power management function, a burst timer is started and the command is handled by a command dispatcher. If the embedded controller is in burst mode, multiple commands may be received during a burst period.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1997Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Aleksandr Frid, Anthony P.
