STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094924 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The storage device described in the patent application manages user identification and authentication information to control access to nonvolatile memory. The controller verifies the user's identity and authentication information before granting access to the memory.

  • The controller manages user identification and authentication information, including a hash value calculated from the user identification information and device identification information.
  • Access requests to the nonvolatile memory are received from external devices, and the controller verifies the user's identity and authentication information before granting access.
  • The access request is accepted if the user identification information and authentication information match the stored information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure data storage systems, access control systems, and authentication mechanisms for electronic devices.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in nonvolatile memory by implementing a secure user identification and authentication process.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced data security, protection against unauthorized access, and improved user authentication processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include secure storage devices, data encryption systems, and secure access control solutions for electronic devices.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be secure authentication systems used in data storage devices or electronic devices to control access to sensitive information.

Unanswered Questions

This article does not provide a comparison with existing authentication methods to highlight the advantages of the proposed technology.

What are the potential limitations or vulnerabilities of this authentication system?

The article does not address any potential limitations or vulnerabilities of the authentication system described in the patent application.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to one embodiment, a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. the controller manages first user identification information and first authentication information including a hash value calculated from the first user identification information and a first device identification information of a first client device. the controller receives an access request to the nonvolatile memory, user identification information, and authentication information transmitted from an external device, and accepts the access request in a case where the user identification information received matches the first user identification information, and the authentication information received matches the first authentication information.
