    Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for prevention of cable swap security attacks on storage devices. A host system may include a provisioning module configured to generate a challenge-response verification key-pair and further to provide the key-pair to the storage device to enable the challenge-response verification. The system may also include a link error detection module to detect a link error between the host system and the storage device. The system may further include a challenge-response protocol module configured to initiate, in response to the link-error detection, a verification challenge from the storage system and to provide a response to the verification challenge based on the key-pair.
