Abstract:
USB’s are the most common devices for data sharing and transferring either for personal day to day use or at the organizational level. Its usage is increasing exponentially despite the data breaches occurring due to the noncompliance of security measurements. Consumers are at risk when sensitive data is stored on unsecured USBs. The consequences of losing drives (or when picked up by unauthorized persons) loaded with sensitive information can be significant, including the loss of customer data, financial information, business plans and other confidential/sensitive information, with the associated risk of reputation damage. Apropos, this problem of keeping the data confidential from unauthorized users needs to be addressed immediately. Therefore, we intend to design an indigenous solution for this problem which can easily be used by general users and sensitive organizations (strategic, banks, academia, law enforcement, armed forces, telco’s and many others) to overcome the stated confidentiality problem. Our proposed Smart Secure USB (SSU-256), will serve as secure channel for both data storage and transfer with remarkable features of being Indigenous, Cost Effective, Multiuser Device, login history ,assuring the integrity and an easy to use simple plug n play portable device. Hence making it easy for user to store and transfer sensitive data.
