Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 3:
4. A computer system for protecting one or more files comprising:
an accessing computer executing computer executable program code for a monitor application, the accessing computer receiving biometric input to authorize access to access rules encoded to be machine readable instructions for the monitor application to control access to the one or more files by the accessing computer system;
a hardware device with an interface to display a series of operational parameters specifying requirements defining permitted activities related to the one or more files and to encode specified operational parameters into the access rules, the access rules being a set of parameters that are selected at the interface to define the permitted activities by the monitor application and the accessing computer system related to the one or more files, the monitor application to control access to the one or more files by the accessing computer system using the biometric input to authorize access, the access rules having directions regarding authentication and system attributes that are required to access the one or more files, the access rules providing operational parameters to the accessing computer;
a computer hardware server encoding operational parameters that are selected to define the permitted activities by the accessing computer related to the one or more files, the encoded operational parameters being machine readable instructions for the monitor application to control access to the one or more files by the accessing computer;
wherein upon execution, the monitor application continuously running on the accessing computer system to control access of the one or more files by the accessing computer system;
wherein the monitor application:
authorizes access to the operational parameters using the biometric input at the accessing computer system;
upon successful authorization, uses the biometric input to execute the access rules at the accessing computer system;
opens and accesses the one or more files by executing qualifying steps in an authentication process to provide services for the accessing computer system;
upon successful authentication, controls activities of the accessing computer system upon the one or more files by the monitor application reading the access rules; and
upon detecting active file access of the one or more files by the accessing computer system provides feedback at all stages of access to track success and failure of file operations and support the accumulation of logging and tracking data.
