Do you feel unsecured about the misuse of sensitive data residing in your PC's Hard Drive? Well, then this innovation is sure to let you sigh in relief!!!
The Japanese Consumer Electronics giant, TOSHIBA has come up with new self-encrypting Hard Drives that automatically erases all the data when inserted into another computer.
The Hard Drive model is named as Toshiba MKxx61GSYG. It allows original equipment manufacturers to configure different data invalidation options. If someone uses these drives in some unknown systems then the drive and the host performs a authentication process. If the authentication fails then the drive denies access or crypto-erases the sensitive user data, as configured.
In Cryptographic erase, the keys that allows the user to decrypt data are deleted and thus the data becomes permanently encrypted and hence unreadable.
