CLOUD CONNECTOR KEY
First Claim
1. A cloud connector key comprising:
- a network interface configured to connect to a network;
a mass storage interface configured to connect to a network isolated device;
a computation module operatively connected to the network interface and the mass storage interface, and configured to;
connect to a cloud repository using the network interface by;
obtaining, from storage on the cloud connector key, a network address of the cloud repository;
requesting connection to the cloud repository using the network address; and
authenticating, using credentials in the storage on the cloud connector key, to an account in the cloud repository;
obtain a file from the account in the cloud repository; and
provide the file to the network isolated device via the mass storage interface.

Abstract
A cloud connector key includes a network interface configured to connect to a network, a mass storage interface configured to connect to a network isolated device, and a computation module operatively connected to the network interface and the mass storage interface. The computational module is configured to connect to a cloud repository using the network interface by obtaining, from storage on the cloud connector key, a network address of the cloud repository, requesting connection to the cloud repository using the network address, and authenticating, using credentials in the storage on the cloud connector key, to an account in the cloud repository. The computational module is further configured to transfer a file between the account in the cloud repository and a network isolated device via the mass storage interface.
