Abstract
Systems and methods authenticate storage devices. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for authenticating a storage device. According to the method, a manifest that identifies a destination is receive. A transfer station reads a digital signature from the storage device. The digital signature is validated and, based on the validation of the digital signature, a transfer of one or more files from the storage device via the transfer station is authorized to the destination identified in the manifest.
Claims21
-37. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- performing, by one or more computing devices of a storage provider:
- receiving, from a client, an indication that data of the client is to be shipped on a storage device to the storage provider for subsequent storage at the storage provider;
- and
- subsequent to receiving the storage device by the storage provider, wherein the data has been stored onto the storage device by the client:
- determining that the received storage device is associated with the client;
- and
- transferring the data of the client from the received storage device to a storage location at the storage provider that is associated with the client.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories, wherein the one or more memories have stored thereon instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a client, an indication that data of the client is to be shipped on a storage device to the storage provider for subsequent storage at the storage provider;
- and
- subsequent to receiving the storage device by the storage provider, wherein the data has been stored onto the storage device by the client:
- determine that the received storage device is associated with the client;
- and
- transfer the data of the client from the received storage device to a storage location at the storage provider that is associated with the client.
One or more non-transitory computer-accessible storage media storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a client, an indication that data of the client is to be shipped on a storage device to the storage provider for subsequent storage at the storage provider;
- and
- subsequent to receiving the storage device by the storage provider, wherein the data has been stored onto the storage device by the client:
- determine that the received storage device is associated with the client;
- and
- transfer the data of the client from the received storage device to a storage location at the storage provider that is associated with the client.
