Abstract
Secure disks protect user data by applying security features such as data access prevention through access control, user identification through authentication, and data leakage prevention through encryption and decryption. However, data exposure can still be caused by security threats such as malicious users bypassing authentication and the exposure of encryption and decryption keys. Therefore, we analyze a potential vulnerability in the backup feature of product A and draw practical and empirical results to verify the analyzed vulnerability by implementing a proof-of-concept tool.
