Strongbox
Strongboxes are computer devices that act as a gateway to connecting to a secure system or network with embedded hardware-level security, and are generally the gold standard for data protection while still allowing global network access. Features vary by model, but can include:
- A lack of wireless transmitter, requiring wired connections.
- Built-in shielded connector wires.
- Automatic encryption rotation.
- Encrypted DSU storage.
- Proxy connections to one or more pre-arranged secure network(s).
- Automatic deletion of local files, encryption keys, and revocation of secure network access based on some criteria, including:
- Remote administrator kill-switch
- The device leaving an 'electronic fence'/location zone.
- A dead-man switch with a paired cybernetic network.
