I am placing a touch screen in a publically accessable semi monitored area. I wan to allow perople to charge their USB devices, but don't want them to be able to access them or be able to upload malicious software.

I tired removing the data lines, so that only the charging lines were connected... and then plugged in my iPhone. After a little googling, I found this: MintyBoost - The mysteries of Apple device charging which outlines clearly why my iPhone does not charge...

Is there any way to leave the data lines connected, but remove the ability to transmit or recieve data? Thinking maybe via bios or a third party application...

All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave.
