Abstract

A method for protecting content of a storage device including a memory for storing data and a controller for managing data input and output of the memory is provided, in which a Data Encryption Key (DEK) for encrypting the data stored in the memory is generated, an IDentifier (ID) of the memory is acquired, the DEK is encrypted using user secret information and the ID of the memory, and the encrypted DEK is stored in the memory.

Claims (57)

1. A method for authenticating a memory device by a controller device, the method comprising:

sending, by the controller device, a pre-stored number, a random number and key position information to the memory device;

receiving, the controller device, authentication information from the memory device;

verifying, the controller device, the authentication information using verification data; and

if verification succeeds, generating, by the controller device, an Enhanced Media IDentifier (EMID) of the memory device using an IDentifier (ID) of the memory device and a pre-stored value.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising;

receiving, by the controller device, encrypted content from the memory device; and

decrypting, by the controller device, the encrypted content with a key being a random value.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising;

reading, by the controller device, an encrypted ID of the memory device from the memory device; and

decrypting, by the controller device, the encrypted ID of the memory device using a key stored in the controller device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reading, by the controller device, data including the key position information from the memory device.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for executing a method of authenticating a memory device by a controller device, the method comprising:

sending, by the controller device, a pre-stored number, a random number and key position information to the memory device;

receiving, by the controller device, authentication information from the memory device;

verifying, by the controller device, the authentication information using verification data; and

if the verification succeeds, generating, by the controller device, an Enhanced Media IDentifier (EMID) of the memory device using an IDentifier (ID) of the memory device and a pre-stored value.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 5 , the method further comprising;

receiving, by the controller device, encrypted content from the memory device; and

decrypting, by the controller device, the encrypted content with a key being a random value.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 5 , the method further comprising;

reading, by the controller device, an encrypted ID of the memory device from the memory device; and

decrypting, by the controller device, the encrypted ID of the memory device using a key stored in the controller device.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 5 , the method further comprising reading, by the controller device, data including the key position information from the memory device.

9. A controller device for authenticating a memory device, comprising:

a non-transitory storage area for storing a pre-stored number and a pre-stored value; and

a controller configured to:

send the pre-stored number, a random number and key position information to the memory device;

receive authentication information from the memory device;

verify the authentication information using verification data; and

if the verification succeeds, generate an Enhanced Media IDentifier (EMID) of the memory device using an IDentifier (ID) of the memory device and the pre-stored value.

10. The controller device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to:

receive encrypted content from the memory device; and

decrypt the encrypted content with a key being a random value.

11. The controller device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to:

read an encrypted ID of the memory device from the memory device; and

decrypt the encrypted ID of the memory device using a key stored in the controller device.

12. The controller device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to read data including the key position information from the memory device.

13. A method for performing authentication between a memory device and a controller device, the method comprising:

sending, by the memory device, data including key position information to the controller device;

receiving, by the memory device, a number pre-stored in the controller device, a random number and the key position information from the controller device;

generating, by the memory device, authentication information based on a key which is stored in the memory device and corresponds to the key position information; and

sending, by the memory device, the authentication information to the controller device.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising sending, by the memory device, encrypted content to the controller device,

wherein the encrypted content is content encrypted with a key being a random value.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising sending, by the memory device, an encrypted ID of the memory device to the controller device.

16. A memory device for performing authentication between the memory device and a controller device,

at least one non-transitory storage area for storing an encrypted ID of the memory device and a plurality of keys; and

a processor configured to:

send data including key position information to the controller device;

receive a number pre-stored in the controller device, a random number and the key position information from the controller device;

generate authentication information based on a key which is one of the plurality of keys and corresponds to the key position information; and

send the authentication information to the controller device.

17. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to send encrypted content to the controller device, and

wherein the encrypted content is content encrypted with a key being a random value.

18. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to send an encrypted ID of the memory device to the controller device.
