Belarusian Scientists First in the World Developed a System of Protection of Notebooks

The specialists of the Scientific and Research Institute of Computers have developed the system of protection from unauthorized access for notebooks.

According to Deputy Director of the Institute Vladimir Vitar, the system secures the complete protection of information, control of unauthorized access and differentiation of access to hardware of portable computers. Personal identifiers can be used as password. The access can be granted by scanning fingerprints or verifying voice parameters. In the attempt of physical penetration in a notebook (breaking a computer case, unloading CD’s) all the information will be automatically destroyed. The system also protects such specific types of penetration as attempts to read the information with the help of electromagnetic radiation.

Deputy Director of the Institute said that similar systems have previously been developed for stationary computers only. Belarusian experts were the first in the world to develop such system for notebooks. Most likely, the system will be of interest for businessmen, bank employees, and officials of special services.

It took the experts of the Institute to develop the system within two months only. Tests organized by the Institute have proven the appropriateness of the research. The Institute will organize the production of the system.
