Computer data protecting method

Abstract

This computer data protection method of the present invention requires a user to enter a correct password for modifying any data. If wrong passwords are typed, this method forbids modification of any program modules. Further, if any program module is detected having unauthenticated modification, that program module is deleted and an original image of that program module is loaded to recover normal operation of the operation system. Additionally, a common password is also provided in the protection method. Some special function can use this common password to pass the detection of this method to perform any modification.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a security method, and particularly relates to a computer data security method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] With the popularity of computer and the progress of the network technology, computers have been closely involved in human daily life. For example, people can use computer to record various digital data. Even people can use the duplicating machine of the computer to reproduce the same digital data in a digital recording media. [0003] Most computers are connected to networks like the Internet, intranets, and telecommunication networks. In other words, networks have become an unavoidable tool in life. However, a network also exposes users thereof to various attacks. For example, data on the network can be destroyed, changed, or copied by hackers. When the hacker gets the data, he can employ the reproduction function to reproduce the data and even sell the data. There are many transferring and copy preventing techno...

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a data protection method that can respond properly to hacking activities, prevent computer virus attacks, and prevent unauthorized digital media reproduction. The method involves recording the activities of unauthorized users or activating certain reactions. The invention also includes a monitor program that can detect any modification / addition / deletion action performed on program modules of an operating system and determine if the action is legitimate. The monitor program can also delete the program modules and load the backup images of the program modules to recover the computer back to normal operation. The common password is also provided in the monitor program to allow for special functions without performing the password authentication step."

Problems solved by technology

Otherwise, the user request is transmitted to a reaction system which provides virtual data similar to real data so that unauthorized users have the illusion of successfully hacking the inner data system.
