ABSTRACT:
A computer system which prevents unauthorized access to files within a memory such as a disk. A first software program within the computer attempting to access the files is authorized to access the files whereas another software program within the computer is not authorized to access the files. When the first software program desires to access the files and uses the appropriate password or key-code, the first software program is allowed access to the information whereas the second software program within the same computer is not allowed access to the information within the files. The files may be stored in a file server which is networked to a client computer containing the software programs. Alternatively, the files may be stored in an intelligent peripheral device which is not located within a conventional file server and the computer connected to the peripheral device includes the software programs which attempt to access the files within the peripheral device.
