Claims15
A method of making a secure storage system having unequivocal authentication and cryptographic data protection, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a mass-data memory;
- providing a security element communicatively coupled with the mass-data memory;
- interposing a secured data interface between the mass-data memory and the security element;
- and
- the security element providing security-critical information concerning the data of the mass-data memory.
