Abstract

The present invention relates to a secure memory storage system. In particular there is a data storage device having a receiver for receiving data, an encrypted persistent memory to store received data and a transmission control device physically independent of the data storage device. The apparatus is arranged such that when a connection between the transmission control device and the data storage device is established, transmission of data between the data storage device and a further device (e.g. a PC) is enabled. Wireless connection between the transmission control device and data storage device is not established, and transmission of data between the data storage device and the further device (e.g. PC) is non-enabled. The transmission control device therefore controls data transfer between the data storage device and the further device.

Claims

8-1. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the data storage device is configured to be incapable of wired communication for data transfer with the further device.

18. Data storage system comprising:

a data storage device having a receiver for receiving data and a transmitter for transmitting data;

a first transmission control device physically independent of the data storage device;

a second transmission control device physically independent of the data storage device;

the system arranged such that when a connection between the first transmission control device and the data storage device is established transmission of data from a data source to the data storage device is enabled, and when a connection between the data storage device and first transmission control device is not established transmission of data therebetween is non-enabled, and when a connection is established between the data storage device and the second transmission control device, transmission of data from the data storage device to a data destination is enabled, and when a connection between the second transmission control device and the data storage device is not established transmission of data therebetween is non-enabled, wherein the data storage device comprises a persistent memory to store received data, which memory is encrypted.
