Abstract: A storage device includes a substrate, at least one secure element, a case and a coupling structure. The secure element is mounted on the substrate. The case surrounds the substrate and the secure element. The coupling structure integrally couples the secure element and the case, When at least a part of the case is removed, the secure element is destroyed while a connection remains between the secure element and the case by the coupling structure, and access to secure data stored in the secure element is prevented.

Abstract: In a method of resetting a storage device, an internal power supply voltage is generated based on an external power supply voltage. A first reset control signal that is activated when a level of the internal power supply voltage is higher than a reference level. A second reset control signal that is activated after a power-on of the storage device is completed or deactivated after a predetermined delay time from when the external power supply voltage is turned off. A final reset control signal is generated based on the first reset control signal and the second reset control signal. The final reset control signal is activated when at least one of the first and second reset control signals is activated. After the external power supply voltage is turned off, a reset operation is performed when the final reset control signal is activated.

Abstract: A storage device includes a substrate, at least one data storage element, a case, and at least one sensing pin. The substrate includes at least one security pad. The data storage element is mounted on the substrate. The case surrounds the substrate and the data storage element, and includes at least one contact structure for an electrical connection with the security pad. The sensing pin receives an electrical signal. A level of the electrical signal varies by detecting a change in a resistance according to whether the security pad is electrically connected to the contact structure. When at least a part of the case is removed, a level change of the electrical signal is detected, and a secure erase process for data stored in the data storage element is performed.
