Abstract: A method includes generating a plurality of blocks of a block chain wherein the plurality of blocks is associated with components of a storage device. The plurality of blocks is generated by a device other than the storage device when the components are manufactured. The method further includes storing a copy of a ledger associated with the generated blocks on the storage device when the storage device comprises computing power sufficient to generate blocks of a block chain. The method also includes generating additional blocks of the block chain. The additional blocks of the block chain are associated with additional components of the storage device when the additional components are manufactured. The additional blocks are generated independently by the device and by the storage device and wherein respective ledgers are updated.

Abstract: A system includes an environment-aware storage drive comprising one or more storage medium with a location-based service wherein the environment-aware storage drive generates a signal containing information about a location of the storage drive relative to a geo-fenced area and updates a ledger unit of an event happening to the storage drive based on the signal, wherein the event is related to the current environment of the storage drive. The ledger unit keeps track of a number of events and/or data received from the environment-aware storage drive. A policy unit determines an expandable set of security policies for the storage drive triggered by the event and/or data, wherein the security policies specify access restrictions to the environment-aware storage drive based on its current environment. The policy unit transmits and enforces the set of security policies on the environment-aware storage drive to prevent data from being theft from the storage drive.

Abstract: A storage device includes a storage media storing one or more blockchain data structures. The storage device receives objects via payloads and determines whether the objects satisfy a blockchain storage condition. The blockchain storage condition may be based on a type of the object. If the blockchain storage condition is satisfied by the object, then the object is cryptographically signed by a key associated with the storage device and stored in one or more blockchain data structures managed by the storage device. The cryptographically signed object is broadcast to one or more additional storage devices.
