Auto-Triggered Methods And Systems For Protecting Against Direct And Indirect Electronic Attack

摘要

Methods and systems for preventing direct and indirect electronic attacks, cyber attacks, and/or minimizing the impact of high voltage pulses are disclosed. In an aspect, an example system can comprise an electromagnetic plasma disrupter device. The electromagnetic plasma disrupter device can comprise a gas pressurized enclosure such a waveguide, grounded metal enclosure, or Faraday shield having a first pair of opposed electrodes at least partially enclosed in the enclosure. A first electrode of a first pair of the opposed electrodes can be connected to ground. A second electrode of the first pair of opposed electrodes can be coupled to a voltage source. The system can optionally comprise a second pair of opposed electrodes. The second pair of electrodes can allow, under normal operation, for signals to enter and leave an electronic circuit that is being protected.

主权项

1. An electromagnetic plasma disrupter device comprising:
a gas pressurized waveguide; and a plurality of pairs of opposed electrodes at least partially enclosed in the gas pressurized waveguide, wherein a first electrode of a first pair of the opposed electrodes is connected to ground and a second electrode of the first pair of the opposed electrodes is coupled to a voltage source, wherein a second pair of the opposed electrodes is disposed within the waveguide and is configured in series with an electronic circuit and one or more of an external source and an external load, wherein the first pair of opposed electrodes facilitates generating and controlling a plasma.
