Multiple Security Zone Creation Patent-pending SiZone allows every SiliconDrive Secure up to five independent security zones with different security parameters for ultimate protection. For example, application data, software IP and lookup tables can be stored in separate zones with different security parameters. Applications like wearable or field computers, industrial PCs or network security appliances can store sensitive data, databases, mission or patient data independently in each zone, providing maximum protection while decreasing costs by eliminating unnecessary storage devices. Example: A gaming OEM manufactures video poker machines that use SiliconDrive Secure as the storage technology. The machine has three different storage requirements—one to store and manage specific validation codes required by regulatory agencies, a second to store the game and its associated graphics images, and a third to provide player tracking statistics for casino marketing programs. Previously, the OEM needed three different storage products to accomplish this task—a secure EPROM for the validation codes, a CD-ROM for read-only access to the game itself, and a flash card for player tracking. All three requirements can now be satisfied by one SiliconDrive Secure—with zone one implementing SiSecure to provide restricted access to the validation codes, zone two implementing SiProtect to provide read-only access to the game, and zone three to allow full read and write access to monitor player tracking. Each zone can be configured with any combination of SiSweep, SiSecure or SiProtect.
