Abstract
A network includes a host personal computer (PC) that can securely communicate with other PCs connected to the network based on the use of security association information. A power-loss detection circuit receives an input signal indicative of a voltage supply level to the network and outputs an output signal indicative of a change in the voltage supply level. The security association information is stored in a storage device if the output signal from the detection circuit indicates that a change in the voltage supply level, such as a power failure or change in power states, has occurred. The security information or other information can be stored in the storage device while the voltage supply level is falling.
