  • Publication number: 20220058296
    Abstract: A system or method provides electric power to an authorized user and denies electric power to an unauthorized user. An administrator requests access for a user, and a central controller generates a key/receptacle tuple for the access. The key/receptacle tuple is communicated to a site power controller, which broadcasts the key/receptacle information to secure receptacles in a facility. The key is also communicated to the user. The user plugs in a device into a secure receptacle and provides the key via a secure adapter. If the key is valid, the device is supplied with electric power; otherwise, electric power is denied. The central controller logs and analyzes activities of the secure receptacles and reports to the administrator.

  • Patent number: 11256831
    Abstract: An information security system and method that provides electric power to an authorized user and denies electric power to an unauthorized user. An administrator requests access for a user, and a site controller generates a key/receptacle tuple for the use. The key/receptacle tuple is communicated to a site power source, which broadcasts the key/receptacle information to all secure receptacles in a facility, or other infrastructure. The key is also communicated to the user. The user plugs in a device into a secure receptacle and provides the key via a secure adapter between the device and the secure receptacle. If the key is valid, the users' device is supplied with electric power; otherwise, electric power is denied to the unauthorized user's device. The usage of the secure receptacles are logged and analyzed by the site controller and reports are communicated to the administrator.
