A METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING DATA ON A REMOVABLE MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

A method (500), apparatus (100), and system (400) for securing data on a removable memory device (200), which is removably coupled to and accessible by a computing apparatus (224), are disclosed. Upon an attempt by a user to access the removable memory device, a biometric key is recovered (503) by a biometric key interface device (228). This biometric key is used to authenticate (504) an identity of the user. Upon the authentication (504), where the user identity corresponds (505) to authorized access to the memory device, the access is enabled (510). Upon the authentication (504) where the user identity does not correspond to authorized access to the memory device (200), the access is prohibited (511).
