Removable Storage White Papers
Towards Securing Pocket Hard Drives and Portable Personalities
Overview Inexpensive portable storage devices that are available in the market nowadays have made it easier for users to carry data and programs with them and borrow computing platforms when needed. While this model of computing is very attractive, it is promiscuous and thus protection is needed both for the borrower and owner of the computing platform. This paper focuses on a subset of this computing model, called portable storage based personalization where the user boots the borrowed PC from her portable storage device, i.e. pocket hard drive. This paper analyzes the security implications of this model and present a scheme to protect the pocket hard drive from the untrusted platform.
