An Authentication and Data Protection Scheme Research for Mass Storage Devices

Abstract

Universal serial bus mass storage is a widely used storage device. In order to protect the user data security in USB storage devices, an effective authentication and data protection scheme is proposed. Using the attribute-based control technology, the security authentication of the USB device user is realized, and the privacy data fine-grained control of the USB device is realized. Security analysis shows that the scheme has strong security, it can resist replay attack, denial of service attack, the online password guessing attack, user impersonation attack, etc. Experimental performance analysis shows that the scheme has high efficiency in user registration, authentication and file decryption.
