A U.S. scientist has developed a computer black box, which preserves the records of shady activities by hackers, including infiltration into the computer's networks.
Jongman Kim, a former professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Georgia Tech, revealed the “Server Black Box,” at a press conference held on the campus on Wednesday.
Kim, who graduated from Seoul National University as an engineering major, went to the U.S. after spending years at LG Electronics. Earlier this year, he left Georgia Tech to develop the product, and founded a new company, Soteria Systems.
During the press conference, he claimed that the “Server Black Box” is the world’s first computer black box attached to the hardware as a module.
Kim invested one million dollars into the research and development of the product over the course of two and a half years. He has also filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The result will come out early next year.
