Abstract

A computer configured for a connection to a network of computers including the Internet, comprising: a microchip including a microprocessor including a master control unit configured using hardware and firmware, and two processing units; an internal hardware firewall that is located between a protected portion and an unprotected portion of the microchip; said protected portion including said master control unit and one of the processing units, said unprotected portion including one or more of the processing units that are separate from and located outside of the internal hardware firewall; said hardware firewall denying access to said protected portion by the network; and said hardware firewall permitting access by another computer in the network to one or more of the processing units included in the unprotected portion for an operation with said another computer in the network; and an active configuration of a circuit integrated into the microchip.

Claims

1. A computer configured for a connection to a network of computers including the Internet, comprising:

a microprocessor including a master controlling device that is configured using hardware and firmware,

at least four other microprocessors; and

the master controlling device of the computer being further configured to allow a user of the computer to control the microprocessors;

an internal hardware firewall that is located between a protected portion of the computer and an unprotected portion of the computer;

said protected portion of the computer including

at least said microprocessor including a master controlling device,

said unprotected portion of the computer including said at least four other the microprocessors, said at least four other unprotected microprocessors being separate from and located outside of said internal hardware firewall;

said hardware firewall is used to make said protected portion of the computer inaccessible by a network including the Internet when the computer is connected to the network including the Internet; and

said hardware firewall permitting access by the network including the Internet to said unprotected portion of the computer including said at least four other microprocessors for an operation with another computer in the network including the Internet when the computer is connected to the network including the Internet.

2. The personal computer of claim 1, wherein the computer includes an active configuration of motherboard hardware.

3. The computer of claim 1, wherein said protected portion of the microchip includes a non-volatile memory.

4. The computer of claim 1, wherein the configuration of the internal hardware firewall is controlled by a network administrator in a local network.
