This is done for chain of custody reasons but would also effectively circumvent your security.
You need to have your storage medium self destruct if it is hooked up to a system other than the one it was paired with.
This system would have to rely on the logic board of the storage device so you would have to harden that so that a swap of the logic board also renders the storage device inoperable.
- M_Grey 10y agoLet them try. http://securedrives.co.uk/ http://securedrives.co.uk/ I mean physical destruction of the NAND gates... just kill it with a "hammer" kind of destroyed. Set it up so it's a fail-deadly switch, and there you go. Obviously don't keep your family photos on it.
- themaninthedark 10y agoThanks! I didn't know that something like that exists.
- M_Grey 10y agoIsn't it great? I don't have a need for one personally, but I had propriety info I'd rather see destroyed than released?... that would be my solution.
- nullc 10y agoThere are people who have programed their storage devices to zeroize when read sequentially over the whole drive; specifically to prevent an unauthorized party from cloning the drive. People do not swap the logic boards of drives often, because unless you get an exact revision match they will be incompatible.
