Appl. No.:

12/815216

Inventors:

Jason R. Cox - Firestone CO, US
Christopher J. Demattio - Longmont CO, US
Monty A. Forehand - Loveland CO, US
Michael B. Danielson - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 21/00
G06F 12/14

US Classification:

713183, 713193, 726 7, 380 45, 380277

Abstract:

A storage device that supports Trusted Computer Group (TCG) security allows management of TCG security features by a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) using non-TCG security commands supported by the BIOS. In one implementation, a BIOS that does not support TCG security but does support ATA security can use ATA drive unlock to invoke TCG drive unlock on the storage device. Further, the storage device can be transitioned among multiple security operating modes (e. g. , Undeclared, ATA security or TCG security).

Assignee:

INTEL CORPORATION - SANTA CLARA CA

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 29/06
G06F 12/14
G06F 21/52
G06F 21/62

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to a system for accessing a self-encrypting drive (SED) based on a blind challenge authentication response mechanism (BCRAM). An SED may be authenticated within a system, for example, upon resuming from a sleep state, based on a challenge generated within the SED, signed using a private key by a trusted execution environment (TEE) and authenticated using a corresponding public key within the SED.

G06F 21/62
G11B 20/00
G06F 21/60

Abstract:

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for secure control of access control enablement and activation on self-encrypting storage devices. In some embodiments, the device may include a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a secure access control module. The secure access control module may include a command processor module configured to receive a request to enable access controls of the NVM from a user, and to enable the access controls. The secure access control module may also include a verification module configured to verify a physical presence of the user. The secure access control module may further include an encryption module to encrypt at least a portion of the NVM in response to an indication of success from the verification module.
