Just because you lose physical possesion of your data, does
not have to mean you lose all control over it.
How about modifying the electronics in a pager to sit
on a disk drive card? Call up the pager number to disable
the card or trigger the encryption or erasure of the
disk. The caller might also give a password as a pager
message.
Also, can we make an EMP emitter that hides inside a fake
3 1/4" "floppy"? This would sit inside a box of floppies
and could also be triggered by pager. Flash media.
Remote control has the following advantages:
* Doesn't bother normal operations (eg having
virus strings precluces normal checking for
viruses, requiring a password or floppy key
every time you log on is a pain, etc.)
* Can be triggered after the raid has already
taken place, if you didn't get advanced warning.
Has anybody done a marketing study for secure-computer
items like these ideas, CryptoStacker, etc?
