Appeal 2006-2685
Application 09/801,614
BACKGROUND
Appellants’ invention relates to security of data files by setting up for
destruction of intruded files as soon as an intrusion is suspected. For each
file, a duplicate or a backup, which remains substantially inaccessible to user
requests, is stored for reloading after the compromised data is destroyed
(Specification 3-4). An understanding of the invention can be derived from
a reading of exemplary independent claim 1, which is reproduced as follows:
1. In a data processing operation having stored data in a plurality of
data files, a system for protecting said data files from unauthorized user
comprising:
means for storing for each of said plurality of data files, a backup file
inaccessible to user requests;
means for receiving user requests for access to data files;
means for determining whether said requests are unauthorized
intrusions into said requested data files;
means responsive to an initial determination that a request is
unauthorized for destroying the requested data files; and
means for reloading a backup file for each destroyed file.
