Problems solved by technology

Since the function library used to access the hidden area is generated by the same card opening firmware, the confidential data stored in the hidden area by a corresponding purchasing company, such as a specific digital content company, may be known by another company, thereby making The commercial secrets and technical security measures of certain digital content companies are exposed to risk
In addition, since the card manufacturer also has a function library for accessing the hidden area, the commercial secrets and technical security measures of the corresponding specific digital content company will also be at risk

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for managing a storage device. The system comprises a storage device with at least one hidden region; the hidden region is built by using card unlocking firmware; and the hidden region is permitted to be accessed by using a function base. A password identification mechanism is implemented on the hidden region of the storage device; and when an input password received by a specific application is in accordance with a vested password of the hidden region, the hidden region is permitted to be accessed by using the function base. As the storage device is provided with a plurality of hidden regions and each hidden region has an independent password, the individual hidden regions can be managed independently and securely; furthermore, as the vested password can be changed by a purchase company, a manufacturer of the storage device or a micro controller company which designs a micro controller of the storage device cannot access the hidden region by any methods when the purchase company changes the vested password of the hidden region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a storage device management system and method, and in particular to a storage device management system and method capable of implementing a password authentication mechanism to at least one hidden area of ​​a storage device. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of electronic devices, such as computers or portable devices, digital data has become the main data recording type of these devices due to the convenience of digital data. Digital data usually needs to be placed on a data carrier, such as a storage device. The form of the data carrier can vary according to different needs and applications. [0003] In general, microcontrollers with flash memory, such as secure digital (Secure Digital, SD) cards, micro SD cards, and storage devices with Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) disks, can have a function to The storage area of ​​the storage device is divided. For example, the storage are...
