Patent ID: 8375455

Claim:
A platform comprising: a platform processor physically associated, and in communication, with memory; and a data storage physically separate from said memory and readable by said platform processor, wherein said data storage is adapted to store, in non-volatile storage, an executable wrap securing data, an executable controller, and an executable sensor, said wrap including instructions to copy said executable sensor and a sister to said executable controller to said memory, wherein said data is secured in said wrap by said sister of said executable controller in said memory cooperating with said executable controller in said data storage to automatically and continuously permit or deny access by said platform processor to data protected by said wrap such that said data protected by said wrap is only accessible to said platform processor when both said sister of said executable controller in said memory and said executable controller in said data storage are accessible, wherein said platform processor can access only said sister of said executable controller and is prevented by said wrap from accessing said executable controller directly and wherein said executable sensor is adapted to monitor at least one of said platform and said data storage for anomalies and, upon detecting an anomaly, deny access to said data secured by said wrap by said executable sensor deleting said sister of said executable controller from said memory upon detecting an anomaly thereby rendering said wrapped data inaccessible to said platform processor.
