Data management for a mass storage device

A computer-implemented method of data management for a mass storage device, the method comprising:

• structuring the mass storage device to include:
• an encrypted file system to store a set of data, and
• a token analyzer to manage access to the encrypted file system;
• sensing, between the mass storage device and a computing device, a connection;
• detecting, in response to sensing the connection, a token corresponding with the computing device;
• determining, by the token analyzer based on the token, to provide the computing device a set of selected permissions to the encrypted file system;
• and
• providing, by the mass storage device to the computing device, the set of selected permissions to the encrypted file system.

A computer program product for data management for a mass storage device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• structuring the mass storage device to include:
• an encrypted file system to store a set of data, and
• a token analyzer to manage access to the encrypted file system;
• sensing, between the mass storage device and a computing device, a connection;
• detecting, in response to sensing the connection, a token corresponding with the computing device;
• determining, by the token analyzer based on the token, to provide the computing device a set of selected permissions to the encrypted file system;
• and
• providing, by the mass storage device to the computing device, the set of selected permissions to the encrypted file system.
