Secure USB Based File System for BMC Applications

Abstract

A fundamental vision driving USB mass storage is commonly used in our day to day computing other storage applications and carry personal data anywhere at any time. Portable storage, such as flash memory and USB disc, allow users transport several gigabytes to terabyte data in their pockets. For these applications, mass storage is secure and similar to a hard disk, and so the same file management system is used as in the Windows or Linux operating systems. USB mass storage because of linear block address behaves similarly to main memory. In this paper to overcome security issues of OS based mass storage devices, we introduce USB based File System for BMC Applications. This article presents the internals of a novel BMC based mass storage file system. BMC based USB mass storage file system allows applications to manage resources directly and eliminate security threats and overhead associated with the conventional operating system or kernel.
