Abstract

In the computer world, data security is the main issue. Many attacks and techniques are used for stealing data. Instead of considering on internet, o ine storage like in hard disk, etc., should also get secured enough so that in case of theft, user information should not get accessed. Till now, third party software is available for securing but they all are easily cracked. For securing hard disk in such a way that attacker not get information from device, a small chip will be mounted inside the hard disk which is always concatenated with user email and always sends location and information of the attached machine. It also contains double password security and can also receive message from concatenated email for blocking or encrypting the data inside the disk. This approach is like using IOT for securing data in hard disk.
