Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as "protection of
data at rest." These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal Storage Specifications as detailed in the following:
Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Documents (apply to Self-Encrypting Drive models only)

NCRYPTION
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each drive employing AES-256 data encryption in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engine is
always in operation and cannot be disabled.
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to
the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM) external to
the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data bands (see
).

CCESS
The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive security
services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is
authorized to perform the command.
5.2.1
Admin SP
The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see
). Access to the
Admin SP is available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.
5.2.2
Locking SP
The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using
the Admin or User passwords.
5.2.3
Default password
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be read by the
host electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password as the
authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.
5.2.4
ATA Enhanced Security
The drive can utilize the system's BIOS through the ATA Security API for cases that do not require password management and additional
security policies.
Furthermore, the drive's ATA Security Erase Unit command shall support both Normal and Enhanced Erase modes with the following
Furthermore, the drive's ATA Security Erase Unit command shall support both Normal and Enhanced Erase modes with the following
modifications/additions:
Normal Erase:
Normal erase feature shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key (DEK) of the drive, followed by an overwrite
operation that repeatedly writes a single sector containing random data to the entire drive. This write operation bypasses the media
encryption. On reading back the overwritten sectors, the host will receive a decrypted version, using the new DEK of the random data
sector (the returned data will not match what was written).
Enhanced Erase:
Enhanced erase shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key of the drive.
