Abstract:
An apparatus and method for computer network security based on Free-Space Optical Interconnections (FSOI) for board-to-board information transmission. The addition of a controllable, interlocked shutter system creates air-gapped isolation of the boards, allowing for increased obfuscation, and enhanced security.
