Abstract
A storage system has integrated information security features adapted to interact with a host system. The storage system includes a storage media, controller firmware and a controller. The storage media is adapted to store data. Controller firmware stores a secret. The controller controls data transfers between the host system and the storage media, and is adapted encrypt and decrypt data written to or read from the storage media using an encryption key based on the secret.
