  • Using multiple display servers to protect data
    Patent number: 9355282
    Abstract: A first display server and a second display server execute on a processing device. The first display server provides a secure environment for data presented in first application windows of the first display server and the second display server provides an unsecure environment for data presented in second application windows of the second display server. The processing device receives at least one user command to copy data from one of the first application windows of the first display server to one of the second application windows of the second display server. The processing device prompts a user to perform an authentication upon receiving the at least one user command. In response to the user successfully performing the authentication, data is copied from said one of the first application windows to said one of the second application windows.
