Abstract:
Systems and methods for wireless enabled security in relation to a storage drive are described. In one embodiment, the systems and methods may include receiving, at a storage drive, a request from a host of the storage drive. In some cases, the request may be received via a wired connection between the storage drive and the host. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may include determining whether the request is flagged by the host as a secure connection request, processing the request upon determining the request is not flagged as a secure connection request, and establishing a wireless connection with the host upon determining the request is flagged by the host as a secure connection request.
