Secure USB based File System for BMC Applications

A fundamental vision driving USB mass storage is commonly used in our day to day computing other storage applications and carrying personal data anywhere at any time. Portable storage, such as flash memory and USB disc, allows 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. At the end of this article, we present preliminary performance measurements using some of the interfaces. Specifically, we determine the time to create files, read and write files, and flush cache memory to the USB. BMC based USB mass storage file system allows applications to manage resources directly, and eliminates security threats and overhead associated with the conventional operating system or kernel.
