Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a data storage drive for encrypting data, comprising a microprocessor and circuitry coupled to the microprocessor and adapted to receive a session encrypted data key and to decrypt the session encrypted data key using a session key, wherein a result is a data key that is capable of being used to encrypt clear text and to decrypt cipher text written to a storage medium. Also provided is a system, comprising a microprocessor and circuitry coupled to the microprocessor and adapted to receive a session encrypted data key and to decrypt the session encrypted data key using a private key, wherein a result is a secret key that is capable of being used to encrypt clear text and to decrypt cipher text written to a storage medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A data storage drive for encrypting data, comprising: a host attachment; a microprocessor; and circuitry coupled to the microprocessor and to the host attachment, the circuitry comprising an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for encryption and decryption that includes a first multiplexor, a second multiplexor, a third multiplexor, a decryption block, and a demultiplexor; wherein the first multiplexor selects a session key from inputs of a…
