Title: Johannes A. De Bruin and a Data Security Device
Introduction
Johannes A. De Bruin is an inventor associated with Montfoort, the Netherlands, and NCR Corporation. His recorded patent concerns a physical security device designed to protect sensitive data stored in resettable memory.
Latest Patents
De Bruin is credited with 1 patent, titled “Data Security Device for Protecting Stored Data.” The invention describes a housing made from six ceramic plates, each carrying thin-film conductive path segments arranged in a meandering pattern. Interconnection devices join the segments to form two closely spaced, parallel conductive paths across the housing’s inner surface. If either path is interrupted or short-circuited, reset circuitry erases the data in the protected memory.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects an approach to data protection that links the physical integrity of a secure enclosure to the preservation of stored information. By making tampering with the conductive paths trigger a memory reset, the device is designed to prevent access to sensitive data through interference with its housing.
Collaborations
De Bruin’s listed coworkers include Jan B. Goossens and Theodoor A. Kleijne. His patent is associated with NCR Corporation.
Conclusion
Johannes A. De Bruin’s recorded invention combines a tamper-sensitive ceramic enclosure with automatic memory erasure to protect stored data.
