SECURITY SYSTEM & METHOD

摘要

A security system for providing remote access to user-specific data and/or programs stored at a server. The system comprises a portable memory device for connection to a personal computer, the memory device having stored thereon identification data unique to a user or group of users, and a program arranged, when run on the personal computer, to transmit the identification data to a network address associated with the server for authentication purposes, to cause allocation of an area of memory on the personal computer for storing data and/or programs received from the server and to de-allocate said memory area upon closing the program or upon disconnection of the portable memory device.
