Self-deploying encrypted hard disk, deployment method thereof, self-deploying encrypted hard disk system and boot method thereof

A self-deploying encrypted hard disk, comprising a master control unit and a storage medium, wherein the master control unit is configured to place a host system in communication with the storage medium to realize data processing and transmission, the storage medium comprises a system data area, wherein the system data area comprises:

• a configuration module, wherein when the self-deploying encrypted hard disk boots up under an unconfigured state, executable code of the configuration module is imported into the host system to assist a user in configuring operation characteristics of the self-deploying encrypted hard disk and a system comprising the self-deploying encrypted hard disk;
• an identity authentication module, wherein when the identity authentication module boots up after the operation characteristics have been configured by the configuration module, the identity authentication module is configured to perform security authentication on user identity and operating environment, and grant access permission to a user who has passed the security authentication,
• wherein before user identity information provided by the host system is imported into the identity authentication module for identity authentication, the executable code of the configuration module is imported into the host system for configuring the operation characteristics of the self-deploying encrypted hard disk.
