Patent attributes
Systems and methods that storage device content authentication are provided. A system that verfies storage device content received from a storage device may comprise, for exmple, a security processor coupled to the storage device. The security processor may be adapted to receive a partitioned storage device region from the storage device. The partitioned storage device region may comprise, for example, regional content and first hashed regional content. The security processor may generate, for example, second hashed regional content by performing a hashing function on the regional content received by the security processor. The security processor may compare, for example, the first hashed regional content to the second hashed regional content. The security processor may varify the regional content received by the security processor if the first hashed regional content is the same as the second hashed regional content.
