Secure Control Protocols for USB Mass Storage Devices

Abstract

USB based devices are very handy in nature due to their plug and play technology. With the advancement of technology their data carrying capacity is increasing day by day, which is imposing a threat of data theft. Presently most of the USB mass storage devices are not secured and therefore most of the companies restrict USB mass storage devices due to fear of confidential data loss. To avail the benefits of high speed data transmission and convenience of use, many research scholars suggested different secure protocols for establishing communication with USB mass storage devices. This study shows various features of existing secure control protocols for USB storage devices.
