Data security system with versatile authentication and management

Abstract

A data security system (e.g., a secure storage device) with versatile authentication and management capabilities is disclosed. The described technology addresses the technical problem of providing secure data storage with multiple authentication methods and remote management capabilities. The data security system (DSS) comprises a storage media, an interface controller, an authentication controller, and an electronic switch. The authentication controller authenticates users to unlock the DSS and sets the electronic switch to connect the external data channel to either the authentication controller or the interface controller. The DSS supports various authentication methods, including keypad, phone-based, and host application authentication, allowing flexibility in different environments. The primary use of the described technology is to enhance data security and user flexibility, making the system suitable for organizations with specific security requirements. The system’s architecture ensures secure transitions between authentication and data modes, providing robust security and adaptability.
