Zusammenfassung:A security device includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured for connecting to a bus that serves one or more peripheral devices. The bus includes (i) one or more dedicated signals that are each dedicated to a respective one of the peripheral devices, and (ii) one or more shared signals that are shared among the peripheral devices served by the bus. The processor is connected to the bus as an additional device in addition to the peripheral devices, and is configured to disrupt on the bus a transaction in which a bus-master device attempts to access a given peripheral device, by disrupting a dedicated signal associated with the given peripheral device.
