Method and apparatus for protecting data during storage/retrieval

摘要

For protecting data during transmission between a host device (100) and a data storage device (110), the host device (100) encrypts command-related information and sends the encrypted command-related information to the data storage device (110). The data storage device (110) decrypts the encrypted command-related information, interprets the decrypted command-related information to generate interpreted commands, and executes the interpreted commands.
