Security Enabled False Desktop Computing Environment

Abstract:

A computing system for securely managing access to resources of a computing device receives an input at a secure login of a user interface. The computing system compares the input to a plurality of stored security measures and activates one of an operating system or a configuration of a false desktop system. A user interface of the false desktop system shares characteristics with a user interface of an operating system and restricts access to specified files, data stores, applications, networking functions, and/or ports associated with the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system or the operating system is enabled based on the location of the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system deletes files, data stores, and applications of the operating system.
