Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and system for generating a physical identifier in a storage device that includes a plurality of storage regions is provided. The method includes determining a number of reference storage regions for uniquely identifying the storage device; comparing the number of reference storage regions to a threshold; generating auxiliary storage regions for uniquely identifying the storage device, such that a number of the auxiliary storage regions corresponds to a result of the comparison; generating location distribution information of the reference storage regions and auxiliary storage regions; and storing the location distribution information in the storage device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for generating a physical identifier in a storage device that includes a plurality of storage regions, the method comprising: Determining, by a host device, a number of reference storage regions for uniquely identifying the storage device; comparing, by the host device, the number of reference storage regions to a threshold; generating, by the host device, auxiliary storage regions for uniquely identifying the storage device, such that a number…
