- Description
- US Patent 7,390, 201 Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) seeks industry partners to advance patented data port lockout technology. The technology is described in US patent 7,390,201. Potential applications may include data security and device control. Description of Technology: The data port security lock enables locking of a data port. A first type of lock is configured to lock a data port to prevent any access. A second type of lock enables connection of a cable to an authorized device while preventing any unauthorized connection. The technology enables authorized devices to connect to a port while preventing a user from disconnecting from the port and connecting to a hub. For a system with no essential devices, such as keyboards, mice, or the like, a simple locking plug can be inserted into a port, effectively locking the port from access. For a system which includes an essential device, a locking plug attached to a cable can be attached to the port and locked, limiting port access to an authorized device coupled to the cable. Sandia seeks to transfer technology for the benefit of the US industry. It is anticipated that commercial licenses may grant rights on a competitive basis to qualified interested parties for appropriate consideration. Licensing options may include grants for defined fields of use, non-exclusive rights, exclusive, or sublicensing rights. Sandia will evaluate responses and select prospective parties with which to engage in further discussions based on the following criteria, pursuant to Sandia's technology transfer mission: 1) What are the respondent's specific research and development, prototyping and deployment capabilities and resources relative to this technology? 2) How will the respondent deploy the technology for the benefit of national security and the US public good? 3) How will the respondent's deployment of the technology benefit US economic competitiveness? Sandia National Laboratories is a multiprogram laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.
