Secure Data Transmission for ATA-based Mobile Virtual Storage System

with the remarkable advancement in mobile technology and ubiquitous computing, virtual storage system, internet Advanced Technology Attachment (iATA) could be one of the possible solution to solve the storage limitation problem on mobile device. However, transmitting data over an open ubiquitous TCP/IP network without any security defense is exposed to malicious security threats. In this paper, we aim to design a secure data transmission for iATA protocol. Our proposed solution is designed with both security and efficiency in mind to satisfy resource constrained environments like mobile device. Significant experiments are conducted and the results so far prove to be most modest compared to the protection that the scheme can offer.
