  • Publication number: 20190278949
    Abstract: A cellular communication device uses manually operated airgap switches that selectively enable or disable various functions of the communication device. The airgap switches physically disconnect conductors associated with power or signal transmission so that the operator is assured that the disabled function is not vulnerable to software-based intrusions. The various functions may include GPS, NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi, and cellular wireless devices. The functions may also include transducers such as a camera or microphone. In other cases, the disabled functions may include sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, or compass that may be used to create a dead-reckoning trail.
