Abstract: The secure drive was developed to improve the security of the conventional USB flash drive, which is vulnerable to leakages of internally stored data caused by extortion, loss, etc. However, it has been continuously reported that the secure USB flash drive, which protects data through the adoption of a wide range of security technologies in wide-ranging ways, cannot assure data security because of implementation and environmental vulnerabilities, eavesdropping, unlock commands, and reverse engineering. As such, there is growing demand for a more powerful secure USB flash drive to solve these fundamental problems. Therefore, this paper presents a secure USB mechanism that prevents leakages of authentication data and does not compare authentication data for smart human care services, which have been a fundamental problem of existing flash drives. Keywords: secure drive, USB Flash.
1. INTRODUCTION Portable storage devices are a popular way to transport files between computers and to backup important information. However, the ubiquity of these devices heightens the security concerns of carrying confidential data. It is important to prevent confidential information from falling into the hands of unauthorized users should a device be lost or stolen. Encryption can be an effective way to protect the privacy of sensitive corporate and personal data. While software encryption programs can help protect data and provide a good first line of defense, they are vulnerable to a number of decryption attacks. Hardware-based encryption offers a stronger defense against the same threat models, and is now available on a new generation of portable data security and authentication devices from Genesis. This paper examines Genesis’s data encryption capabilities, compares the competing software and hardwarebased approaches, and analyzes their effectiveness against various threat models Genesis SecurDrive represent one of the most secure and easy-to-use solutions to the problem of physical USB device security. However, physical security of USB flash drives is only one issue IT managers face. With thousands of flash drives being used in an organization, managing the usage and policies of devices presents an equally significant challenge. Common Concerns Among Enterprise Security Managers
