Introduction - Disable USB on lockscreen

Hi, my name is George-Cristian Muraru and I am second year student at the

Politehnica University of Bucharest. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in

Computer Science.

The project "Disable USB on lockscreen" [0], mentor Tobias Mueller, has the purpose

to block the USB ports while the screen is locked (duh...if you did not realized from

the name :) ), but would be extended to block any device that the user does not

allow to connect.

The current idea is to use the device descriptors and search a local database to

see if the device was already connected. If the device is in that database then it was

already seen and it is a trusted device (we may let it connect). If the device was not

recognized, the user will be asked if he wants to have that device added to the dataset

or to be blocked (is not a familiar device).

Well, mainly this is the main direction of the project, but with time and new ideas

the project could have many different features (only a port to be scanned for new

devices, always block all devices etc.).

Hope you guys like it and I am looking forward to hear your ideas about the project!

Have a nice day,

George
