Abstrakt: The physical security of electronic devices like laptops and tablets is vital as these devices carry confidential data which cannot be compromised. Data security can be provided through a number of innovative ways. The first line of defense is physical security. As far as physical security is concerned, there has been very little development to date. This research is focusing on the physical security of data storage devices. To provide physical security to laptop devices this work proposes a locking assembly for various electronic devices like laptops and tablets. The assembly includes a frame adapted to be coupled to a base of the one or more electronic devices. This locking assembly ensures the safety of devices against any possible theft or unauthorized usage. The design of this locking assembly presents a cost effective, easily available, and simpler to assemble, easy to manufacture and durable solution to the theft problems. A detailed analysis of the proposed design has been conducted which provided an insight of efficiency and usability of the locking mechanism. The mass properties of the model have been computed after assigning the standard material (aluminium) to various components. The mass of the locking assembly has been estimated as 0.5 Kg and the volume is 0.002 cubic meters.
