Title:
Use of the storage controller bus interface for protecting data communications between a storage device and a host
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6067757
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that secures data transfer between a storage device and a host. During operation, the system obtains an input/output (I/O) command and an encryption context associated with the I/O command from a device driver executing on the host. Next, the system uses a storage controller bus interface between the host and the storage device to apply the encryption context to data associated with the I/O command, wherein the encryption context enables transmission of an encrypted form of the data between the storage device and the host. Finally, the system uses the storage controller bus interface to issue the I/O command to the storage device, wherein the I/O command is processed by the storage device.
