A method of accessing content includes installing a file system filter for a secure removable memory device on a host device. A challenge is sent from the file system filter to a software entity on the host device, and a software entity response is received at the file system filter in response to the challenge. A file system filter response is calculated at the file system filter using the challenge, and access to first content on the secure removable memory device is provided if the software entity response matches the file system filter response.
