FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to protection systems. Unit of protection and method realise requests for data from USB device or other similar device, at that protected component may realise protected communication to device without variation of underlying USB bus protocol, or device, even where software that controls the bus is not trusted. Protection unit (physically separated or integrated in device or concentrator) intercepts data transmitted from device into protected component in response to request for data. Signal of data reception confirmation unavailability is transmitted into protected component, and data are coded. The following request for data is intercepted, and coded data are sent in response. Confirmation of data reception from protected component in device is allowed to reach the device. In order to process request for installation, permit command that contains coded and decoded installation command is sent to protection unit. If coding is checked successfully, then installation command sent to device (via protection unit), is allowed to reach the device.
EFFECT: provision of improved protection.
