In further embodiments, the SCS computer system may allow access to one or more networks, such as the Internet. Prior to allowing access to persistent storage, the SCS computer system disconnects from the one or more networks and prevents reconnection to the one or more networks until after the SCS computer system reboots, which erases the volatile memory.

In still further embodiments, the SCS computer system may include one or more encryption programs or protocols. When a user requests access to the one or more encryption protocols, the SCS computer system first disconnects from the one or more networks. This ensures that information about the encryption is protected, such as encryption logs. While the user can still copy the encrypted files to a removable persistent memory storage device, such as a universal serial bus (USB) memory stick, outside monitoring software is preventing from reporting on the encryption process as all logs and data not specifically stored in the persistent memory will be erased when the SCS computer system shuts down or reboots. Since the network connections are shut down until the SCS computer system restarts, malicious applications and software are prevented from reporting information about the encryption process.

FIG. 1 illustrates a graphical view of an exemplary self-correcting secure (SCS) computer system 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure.

In the exemplary embodiment, SCS computer system 100 includes a ROM device 105, a RAM device 110, and at least one processor 115.
