USB Key Security System

This project provides a security mechanism for Windows computers, allowing access only when a specific USB device is connected. The system requires a PIN for access and checks for the USB device continuously.

Supported Platforms

• Only Works On Windows Operating System

Features

• USB Authentication: The system locks the computer unless a specific USB device is connected.
• PIN Protection: A 6-digit PIN is required to unlock the computer when the USB device is connected.
• System Tray Control: Pause, continue, and quit the security check from the system tray.
• Automatic Startup: Option to run the security system at Windows startup.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• requirements.txt dependencies:
  • wmi==1.5.1
  • pywin32==305
  • colorama==0.4.6
  • pillow==9.4.0
  • infi.systray==0.1.7

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/usb-key-security-system.git
   cd USB-Key

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the configuration script:

   python config.py

   Follow the on-screen instructions to select the USB device and set up the PIN.

Usage

Configuring the USB Key and PIN

Run config.py to configure the USB device and set up the PIN. The configuration script will:

• List all connected USB mass storage devices.
• Prompt you to select the USB device to use as the key.
• Ask you to enter a 6-digit secure PIN.
• Save a key file to the selected USB device.
• Optionally set the program to run at Windows startup.

Running the Security System

Run usbkey.pyw to start the security system. The system will:

• Check if the specified USB device is connected.
• Prompt for the PIN if the USB device is connected.
• Lock the computer if the USB device is not connected or the PIN is incorrect.
• Provide system tray options to pause, continue, or quit the security check.

Development

Updating the USB Key Path

The config.py script will update the DEVICE_PATH variable in usbkey.py with the selected USB device path.

Creating a Shortcut for Startup

The config.py script will also create a shortcut to usbkey.pyw (a copy of usbkey.py) in the Windows startup folder if you choose to run the program at startup.
