  • Patent number: 11706621
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein pertains to a method for mobile storage device registration to a management domain using a random token and a pin. In at least one implementation, a technology disclosed herein provides a method of authenticating a device on a system, the method including generating a random token, displaying the random token to a user, communicating the random token to an authentication system portal, in response the authentication system portal validating the random token receiving a PIN from the user, and communicating the PIN to the authentication system portal, and receiving a portal IP address and a certificate of authentication from the authentication system portal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11621857
    Abstract: A method includes importing an object into a first data storage device, obtaining static metadata relating to the object, and obtaining dynamic metadata relating to the importation of the object. The static metadata and the dynamic metadata are hashed to create a block hash for the object and the importation of the object. The imported object and the block hash are stored in the first data storage device.

  • Patent number: 10678708
    Abstract: Systems and methods for management of a RAID system of encrypted storage drives are described. In one embodiment, the system may include self-encrypting drives (SEDs), redundant array of independent disks (RAID) chips, a drive interface bridge connecting between one of the RAID chips and a machine host, and a drive command initiator communicatively coupled to the drive interface bridge. In some embodiments, the drive command initiator may be configured to configure the one or more RAID chips in pass-through mode, unlock at least one of the SEDs while the one or more RAID chips are configured in pass-through mode, and upon unlocking at least one of the SEDs, configure the one or more RAID chips to RAID mode and activate a mass storage functionality of the drive interface bridge.
