RANDOM PASSWORD, AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY BASIC INPUT/OUTPUT (BIOS) SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING DATA STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to information processing systems and in particular to protection of a data storage device in an information processing system. In the method for automatic generation of a password for a data storage device, which is part of a computer, a set of security data is automatically generated. Security data are stored in non-volatile memory. The set of security data is also programmed in the data storage device as a security code.;EFFECT: increased computer safety.;20 cl, 3 dwg
