ABSTRACT:
A method for limiting devices and controlling the applications executed from USB ports on personal computers (PCs). More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for ensuring that only authorized devices and applications are accessed from USB ports using software and configuration files on the PC. Using the software application stored on the PC storage device in conjunction with functionality performed by a designed security file server, the use of USB applications and devices is limited to authorized applications and devices.
