    Patent number: 11580235
    Abstract: A security solution having a system, a method, or a computer program for protecting contents in a target storage device that is arranged to be removable from a storage system having a unique combination of a system complex key (SCK) and a system identification (SID). The solution includes receiving a request to remove the target storage device from the storage system, where the storage system may have a plurality of storage devices each containing the identical combination of system complex key (SCK) and system identification (SID), and receiving a system complex key password (SCKP). The solution includes comparing the system complex key password (SCKP) to the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system, determining whether the system complex key password (SCKP) matches the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system, and suspending all read or write operations to the target storage device when the system complex key password (SCKP) matches the system complex key (SCK) in the storage system.
