Abstract

This invention concerns a security process with the aid of the program HD-SAVE which makes it possible to protect data of any kind from unauthorized access. To that effect, in case of unauthorized access, the medium appears to be missing or not usable. HD-SAVE protects data in that only a limited circle of persons can make the storage medium usable again by means of an authorizing diskette.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
VERFAHREN ZUM SCHÜTZEN UND SICHERN VON DATEN VOR UNBEFUGTEM ZUGRIFFPROCEDURE FOR PROTECTING AND SECURING DATA FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
Es ist bekannt, da_ß aufgrund des zunehmenden Einsatzes elektronischer Medien in vielen Bereichen mit sehr hohen allgemeinen und speziellen Schutzerfordernissen, sowohl öffentlich-rechtlich als auch privat- rechtlich, die bisher üblichen Methoden des Schutzes von Daten als bedenklich und unzureichend erscheinen.It is known that due to the increasing use of electronic media in many areas with very high general and special protection requirements, both under public and private law, the previously common methods of data protection appear to be questionable and inadequate.
Festinstallierte lokal oder im Netz arbeitende Speichermedien werden im besten Falle durch ein BIOS- /Netz-Passwort des Systems geschützt. Wechselbare Speichermedien können zumindestens im Panzerschrank aufbewahrt werden. Für beide Fälle gilt jedoch: im Falle eines Diebstahls stehen die gespeicherten Informationen fast ohne jegliches Hindernis zur Verfügung.Permanently installed local or network storage media are protected in the best case by a BIOS / network password of the system. Exchangeable storage media can at least be stored in the safe. However, the following applies to both cases: in the event of theft, the stored information is available with almost no obstacle.
Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Schutz vor unbefugtem Zugriff auf Daten jedweder Art zu ermöglichen.The invention specified in claim 1 addresses the problem of enabling protection against unauthorized access to data of any kind.
Dieses Problem wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß durch dieses Programm lokal arbeitende Speichermedien mit R/W - Status, die unter dem BS MS-DOS ab V 4.00 o.a. arbeiten, vor unerlaubtem Zugriff sowie bedingt ( Strukturfehler ) vor Zerstörung geschützt werden. Das Speichermedium wird hierbei unbenutzbar für fremde Personen gemacht. Nur ein zu begrenzender Personenkreis hat durch eine Berechtigungsdiskette die Möglichkeit, das Speichermedium wieder benutzbar zu machen. Im Falle eines Diebstahls oder unerlaubten Zugriffs erscheint das Speichermedium als nicht vorhanden bzw. nicht benutzbar.The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that locally working storage media with R / W status, which operate under the BS MS-DOS from V 4.00 o.a. work, be protected against unauthorized access and conditionally (structural errors) against destruction. The storage medium is made unusable for other people. An authorization diskette allows only a group of people to be limited to make the storage medium usable again. In the event of theft or unauthorized access, the storage medium appears to be non-existent or unusable.
Die Funktionsweise von HD_SAVE wird im folgenden näher beschrieben:The functionality of HD_SAVE is described in more detail below:
HD_SAVE wird von der Sicherungsdiskette unter An- gäbe des zu sichernden Mediums ( z.B. C: ) und Optionen gestartet. Mögliche Optionen sind (jeweils ei- ne)o:HD_SAVE is saved from the backup disk under the medium to be backed up (e.g. C:) and options were started. Possible options are (one each) o:
SicherungsobjektSecurity object
-/P Partionssektor- / P partion sector
-/B Bootsektor- / B boat sector
-/F File Allocation Tables 1 / 2- / F File Allocation Tables 1/2
-/H Hauptdirectory- / H main directory
SicherungsaktionHedging action
-/S Save- / S Save
-/L Lock- / L lock
-/U Unlock- / U unlock
Die Handhabung der Sicherungsobjekte erfolgt kumulativ, ausgehend von der oben gezeigten Rangfolge. z.B. HD-SAVE C: /S/HThe security objects are handled cumulatively, based on the ranking shown above. e.g. HD-SAVE C: / S / H
Durch Schreiben ( /S /L ) der ausgewählten Bereiche des Speichermediums ( /P /B /F /H ) auf die Sicherungsdiskette und Löschen ( / ) der ausgewählten Bereiche auf dem Speichermedium erfolgt die Sicherung. Durch Zurückschreiben ( /U ) ausgewählter Bereiche auf das Speichermedium erfolgt die Wiedernutzbarmachung.The backup is carried out by writing (/ S / L) the selected areas of the storage medium (/ P / B / F / H) to the backup diskette and deleting (/) the selected areas on the storage medium. By re-writing (/ U) selected areas to the storage medium, they can be reused.
Der Zeitbedarf beträgt bei maximaler Sicherung ( /H ) ca. 1 Min. / 250 MB. The time required for maximum backup (/ H) is approx. 1 min. / 250 MB.
