  • Techniques For Providing Verifiable Security In Storage Devices
    Publication number: 20080155680
    Abstract: A verifiable security mode is provided for securing data on a storage device, such as a hard disk drive. When the verifiable security mode is enabled, only authenticated accesses to data stored on the storage device are permitted after entering a password. An end user is prevented from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be set to allow or disallow an administrator from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be implemented, for example, in firmware on a hard disk drive (HDD).
