Hi, dp. ...I'm not in this one yet, but I'll take a stab at it for you. My son is a PC and Network geek, so he carries one of those USB memory sticks on his keyring. It's like a diskette or CD, except extremely small and you just plug it into any USB port on a PC to access the data thereon - or store stuff there. I.e.: a static, solid state and portable 'Drive X'. thinkgeek.com The way I see it is that CyberKey is like combining a USB port memory stick with something like onboard Adobe Acrobat and an ASCAP-Copyrights protecting digitial signature. For the Military, you might have a securely encrypted map coordinates file and battle plan instructions on there in something like Excel. If the battlefield tech was killed or captured, the data could be self-erasing in RAM in (n)minutes and/or require both rentry of a poassword and the CyberKey Stick to be reloaded or used. For a line manager at the Lays plant, you might have recipes for different flavors of potato chips on it. In the latter case, the system would run that data from volatile RAM in the line control PC and PLC. It couldn't be stolen that way by a competent hacker or industrial spy, it would be erased if power was removed from the PC. The recipe could be instantly replaced by the line manager within a matter of minutes, if the back-up UPS system failed. Best I can do on short notice, aye............. John :-) .
