Patent number: 9471232Abstract: A data storage device includes one or more non-volatile, blockwise erasable data storage media and a mechanism for sanitizing the media in response to a single external stimulus or in response to a predetermined physical or logical condition. Optionally, only part of the media is sanitized, at a granularity finer than the blocks of the medium. Setting a flag in an auxiliary nonvolatile memory enables an interrupted sanitize to be detected and restarted. Optionally, a “death certificate” verifying the sanitizing is issued. Preferably, the media are configured in a manner that allows atomic operations of the sanitizing to be effected in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: SanDisk IL Ltd.Inventors: Rami Koren, Eran Leibinger, Nimrod Wiesz, Eugen Zilberman, Ofer Tzur, Sagiv Aharonoff, Moredechai Teicher

Publication number: 20080120481Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for protecting data integrity of updatable data against unauthorized modification. A method for protecting data integrity of updatable data in a storage system, the method including the steps of: storing a data copy of the data in the storage system; upon storing the data copy, transforming the data copy into at least one transformed copy of the data; storing at least one transformed copy in the storage system; upon a request to read the data, reading the data copy and at least one transformed copy; transform-comparing the data copy and at least one transformed copy; and designating the data integrity of the data as verified contingent upon the data copy and at least one transformed copy being identical.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2007Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: SANDISK IL LTD.Inventors: Boris Dolgunov, Rami Koren
