An electrical signal indicative of an intrusion is detected at an application executing in a cryptographic data processing system. In response to the detection, an instruction is constructed in the application for the cryptographic data processing system. Using a processor, the instruction causes a cryptographic data item to be removed from a portion of a memory device installed in the cryptographic system.

Protecting cryptographic systems from cold boot and other side channel attacks

A method and system providing remote access for threat removal to a computer system. A remote virtual private network (VPN) connection is established to an application on a remote computer utilizing a plug and play communications device having a trusted embedded component. The plug and play communications device is connectable to a first computer. Access is allowed to the first computer by the application on the remote computer using the VPN to perform threat removal operations on the first computer.
