Researchers warn of severe SSD security vulnerabilities

[silversurfer]

Researchers from the Netherlands' Radboud University have published a paper detailing how hardware encryption systems built into popular solid-state drives (SSDs) can be bypassed to recover supposedly-protected data - and how that renders Microsoft's BitLocker encryption moot on affected systems.

The paper, 'Self-encrypting deception: weaknesses in the encryption of solid state drives (SSDs),' is available in draft form now (PDF warning).
