Abstract: A security apparatus connects an electronic device to a structure. The security apparatus includes a structural mount, a security enclosure, and a swivel mechanism. The structural mount extends from the structure. The security enclosure has a tray that can mount a variety of electronic devices externally to the security enclosure. The security enclosure also has a security housing that slidably receives the tray. The tray and the security housing define a substantially secure fastening volume wherein at least one electronic device fastener is located. The swivel mechanism, which is at least partially located within the fastening volume, engages the security housing and orients the security enclosure and the electronic device attached thereto with respect to the structure.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for securing and selectively locking a portable item to a supporting surface. A generally flat attachment plate is connected to a generally flat base plate containing a lock barrel and a lock cylinder. The attachment plate fastens to a device being secured. A securing stud fastens to the underside of the supporting surface such that the shaft of the securing stud protrudes through a hole in the support surface and base plate to extend into threaded engagement with the lock cylinder barrel. The securing stud has a thin flat head which when adhesively attached to the supporting surface prevents the securing stud from being rotated or removed.
