| 20110283351 | How to stop external and most internal network "Hacking"attacks by utilizing a dual appliance/server arrangement that allows for the use of peering servers and/or client software running on said peering servers or on proxy servers, web servers, or other legacy equipment - Method and system that allows for the input of secure data through a non-secure means and preventing the accessing of the secure data through electronic subterfuge (i.e. Hacking). When this patent is utilized with the current state-of-the-art network security systems, it will be possible to preventing external and most internal accessing of secure computer systems, aka “Hacking.” The method and system can allow access to approved users and either prevents the access of secure information from users that do not have access and/or “kill” the processes of said users. The method and system is capable of detecting unauthorized access to systems and should an attack reach certain thresholds can allow the system to recover and prevent access beyond the specific boundary set. The method and system is also capable of apportioning data to users who may not have the necessary privileges for all of the information but who do need a portion of it. The system is also capable of identifying the individuals who removed the data from secure storage and can track the chain of possession of the electronic document. This is a not a traditional network-centric approach to network data access and as a result is much more effective in handling security issues. This system does not address DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. | 11-17-2011 |
