Description

The invention relates to the technique of protecting a computer and its removable components from unauthorized access, i.e. refers to a tool that prevents the connection of a "foreign" computer component to other devices.

There is a problem of protecting removable computer components from being used in “foreign” computers. The presence of such a problem poses a threat of leakage of confidential information, which weakens the competitiveness of enterprises and entrepreneurs using computers and removable computer components for management purposes and long-term planning. To solve this problem, it is necessary to completely eliminate information leakage and reduce the efforts of competitors through technical espionage to win a priority in the development of events during competitions and tenders.

From the existing level of technology known access control according to patent RU No. 21644038. The technical solution according to this patent requires the manufacture of a special microelectronic terminal and central authentication modules. The disadvantages of this technical solution are many technical means necessary for the functions performed, as well as their complexity and high cost. Devices of this type are justifiably used for complex computer systems with a high degree of state responsibility for the results of operations.

Closest to the claimed technical solution is a protection device against unauthorized removal or substitution of a computer component according to patent RU No. 2187147. The technical device of this patent satisfies many protection requirements. The disadvantages of this technical solution are the need to implement and configure electronic protection units in the electrical system of the computer and removable computer components, which greatly complicates the development and operation of the used computer tools and increases the cost of the device.

The task to which the invention is directed is to enable periodic changes in working conditions in accordance with a confidential schedule for the use of a technical device with a secretive internal layout of elements in detachable joints of computer and computer components cable cables.

This problem is solved due to the fact that in the device protecting the computer and its removable components from unauthorized access, containing the computer’s electrical connector and the electrical connector of the removable computer component docked with it, magnetically controlled contacts are mounted in the electrical connector housings in the electrical circuit of one or more electrical contacts and magnets, magnets of the magnets of the computer’s electrical connector are mounted opposite the magnetically controlled contacts of the electrical connector with a removable computer component, and the poles of the magnets of the electrical connector of the removable computer component are mounted opposite to the magnetically controlled contacts of the computer’s electrical connector. moreover, one of the cables is equipped with an electrical connector for docking with a standard standard computer electrical connector, and the other is a sleep cable are wired with an electrical connector for docking with a standard type of electrical connector for a computer component, in this case one of the cables is included in the computer kit as an integral part, and the other cable is included in the computer component kit as an integral part, cable entry into the kit as an integral working parts are fixed by sealing special docked electrical connectors of cables with electrical connectors of the computer and the computer component but.

The technical result achieved is the ability to periodically change the working conditions in accordance with the confidential schedule for the use of the claimed technical device with a new internal arrangement of sealed contacts and magnets, hidden in the detachable joints of the cables of the computer and computer components.

Using the proposed technical device, the problem of periodically changing working conditions (changing access codes) is solved in accordance with a confidential schedule for its use.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

in FIG. 1 - the claimed technical device;

in FIG. 2 - the claimed technical device comprising a detachable joint of two cables.

The inventive technical device comprises the following parts: housing 1 of an electrical connector of a computer component; sliding electrical contact 2 of the electrical connector of the computer component; sealed magnetically controlled contacts 3 with normally open contacts; the body 4 of the electrical connector of the computer; mounted magnet 5; sliding electrical contact 6 of the electrical connector of the computer; electrical wires 7; the housing 8 of the electrical connector in the cable of the computer component; the housing 9 of the electrical connector as part of a computer cable; computer cable 10; electrical connector 11 of the computer cable is an analogue of the standard electrical connector of a typical computer component; cable 12 of a computer component; electrical connector 13 of the cable of the computer component is an analogue of the standard electrical connector of the computer; seal 14 with special seal.

The operation of the claimed technical device is carried out in the standard position of the docked electrical connectors of the computer and the computer component: sliding electrical contacts 2 and 6 are properly docked, the magnetic fields of the magnets 5 closed the magnetically controlled contacts 3 located inside the gas-filled sealed ampoules (sealed contacts) - and through an electric circuit 7, the computer component is in electrical communication with the computer.

When undocking the electrical connectors 1 and 4, the magnets 5 are removed from the magnetically controlled contacts 3, the magnetic fields around the contacts are weakened, which leads to the opening of the magnetically controlled contacts, as a result of which the electrical circuit at the point of contact of the sliding contacts 2 and 6 is interrupted.

In case of unauthorized access (connection) to the computer by docking the electrical connector of a “foreign” computer component to the electrical connector of the computer, electrical signals will not pass into the computer due to the fact that the magnetically controlled contacts 3 of the computer’s electrical connector are not closed, since there are no foreign components in the computer Opposite pins 3 magnets 5.

In case of unauthorized connection of a computer component equipped with the claimed technical device to a “foreign” computer equipped with a standard standard electrical connector: the magnetically controlled contacts 3 of the electrical connector of the cable 12 of the computer component will not be shorted and, as a result, the computer component will not be connected to the computer, so like a magnet 5 is not installed in the electrical connector of a “foreign” standard computer

A possible application of the claimed technical device as part of an assembly of two docked cables is in the detachable joint of these cables (Fig. 2), and it is not necessary to incorporate magnets and magnetically controlled contacts into the electrical connectors of the computer and the computer component. Such an application of the claimed technical device simplifies operation and reduces the cost of technical means of providing access protection to work with a computer and computer components. With this application of the claimed technical device, it is necessary to manufacture and use several pairs of electric cables, in which the oppositely sealed magnetically-controlled contacts 3 and magnets 5 are mounted differently (different from other cables). These pairs of cables must be used according to a confidential schedule: replace pairs of cables. In this case, it is required to seal 14 cable joints with a computer and with a computer component with seals with a special seal. In this embodiment, it is possible to equip several computer components with the same cables with sealing special printing of electrical connectors. Here you can use several computer components through cables 12 with the same cable 10 of the computer with a special seal sealing the electrical connector 11 and the electrical connector of a standard computer.
