Lock-Keeper is a high-level security solution based on the simple idea of "Physical Separation". It is a hardware-based device and works like a sluice to provide secure data exchange between physically separated networks. Based on the simple principle that "the ultimate method to secure a network is to disconnect it" the Lock-Keeper can entirely prevent session-based and protocol-based network attacks (i.e. so-called "online attack") by physically isolating your sensitive network from external world.
Both the principle and architecture of Lock-Keeper are quite simple. It is not proposed to replace the functionality of the conventional firewall but generally used in combination with firewall to enhance the security of the protected network. Moreover, other security approaches, such as anti-virus software, content scanning tools, authentication modules and access control mechanisms, etc., can be flexibly integrated with Lock-Keeper to prevent some application-level attacks, also referred to as "offline attacks".
The Lock-Keeper project will be exhibited on this year's CeBIT (Mar. 4 - Mar. 9, 2008, in Hannover). Please visit us on both HPI booth (Halle 9 Stand C08, "Future Parc" ) and Tele-Trust booth (Halle 6, G26/6, "Security").
