Abstract

Recently, SSD sales are on the steady rise. The reason of sales is that SSD is faster and smaller than HDD. Therefore SSD serves as a typical alternative to HDD. In fact, SSD considerably emulates the technology of HDD such as the communication protocol and hardware interfaces. So, the technology of HDD can quickly be adapted to SSD. However, SSD slightly differ from HDD in the way of storing, managing and accessing the data. Because of the difference between SSD and HDD, it is possible that technology and command of HDD are not accurately operated on SSD. So various problems on the technology of SSD have occurred gradually including encryption and deletion. To solve this problem, we have to analyze the method of data encryption and secure data deletion suitable for SSD. In this paper, we research significant technology and security problem relevant to SSD. On the basis of analysis about SSD problems, we propose the password-based single-file encryption and secure data deletion for SSD and compare the previous researches with proposed method.
