METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING SECURE I/O OPERATION IN A PLUGGABLE FLASH STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for performing secure read/write operations in the pluggable flash storage device. In one embodiment, a request for at least writing and reading of data in/from the pluggable flash storage device is received. Upon receiving the request for writing data, the storage device is authenticated based on a predetermined signature of the pluggable flash storage device. Upon authenticating the storage device, the at least one of user and the storage controller who made the request is also authenticated and write operation is performed based on successful authentication of the at least one of the user and the storage controller. By way of establishing secure communication between the storage device and the user or the storage controller during the read/write operation the hacking of the data in the storage device or use of the storage device with wrong intent is avoided.
