  • Patent number: 6219792
    Abstract: A secured network system comprising a readykey controller which has a first card reader and a power relay switch connected thereto. The user of the system inserts a microchip embedded card into the first card reader which then transmits an authorization signal to the readykey controller. The readykey controller then activates a power relay switch affixed to the computer which connects the computer's power supply to an external power source activating the computer. The secured network system also has a data relay switch which includes a manual A/B secured network switch. The manual A/B switch allows the user to receive and process classified data, by setting the switch to a predetermined position which connects a secured network server to the computer. The user inserts his proximity card into a second card reader which transmits a second authorization signal to the readykey controller. The readykey controller, responsive to the second authorization signal, activates the data relay switch.
