Abstract :
USB flash drive without any security function causes the exposure of private information. So new USB flash drive supported security function was invented to compensate for the problem. In this paper, we analyze vulnerability of 6 famous secure USB flash drives, and demonstrate that password can be exposed on communication between the secure USB flash drive and PC. Also we show the vulnerability on the data recovery and the S/W bug of secure USB flash drive.
