  • Patent number: 7949137
    Abstract: Virtual disks management methods and systems. First, a file space is set and a first password is set. A first device code is acquired. The file space is encrypted according to the first password and the first device code to obtain an encrypted file. Thereafter, a designation of the encrypted file is received. A second password is received, and a second device code is acquired. It is determined whether the second password conforms to the first password, and whether the second device code conforms to the first device code. If so, the encrypted file is mounted as a virtual disk.
