Wireless USB Access-An Intermediate Between USB and RF Technology

Abstract

USB flash devices – have seen a large influx in consumer use in recent years – especially with reference to sensitive data. With increasing consumer demands for prompt data accessibility, technologists have introduced the concept of wireless storage. During the past few years, advancements have mainly been focused on internet-based wireless storage solutions (Cloud Storage); however with the vulnerabilities of the internet as a whole from the diversely persistent hacker community, storing sensitive personal/business data online is no longer a viable solution. Bearing these problems in mind, we decided to contrive a solution that will enable flash storage data to securely be made accessible on common Bluetooth enabled smart devices. In a nutshell, our project is a storage medium interfaced to a Bluetooth module via controller along with AES encryption/decryption. We propose our solution as an alternative to other wireless data storage solutions.
