Detailed ways

The specific implementations of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of steps of a U-disk access method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the U-disk access method includes:

S11, in response to the received access instruction to the U disk;

When the USB flash drive receives an access command through its USB interface, the access command is a general command, specifically a SCSI general command. The SCSI general command is used because the operating system generally uses a file system in the form of FAT16/FAT32/NTFS, etc. The instruction set manages it. This U disk only needs to process the general instructions issued by the general operating system, so it does not need additional permissions.

S12, determine that the access address of the access instruction is the specific address of the U disk;

The specific address in this embodiment includes one or a combination of a specific partition and a specific offset. For example, it is determined that the partition for the access operation is the first partition, and the access address is the same as the value of a preset global variable ADDR. The setting steps of the global variable ADDR will be described in detail later.

S13. Execute the APDU instruction related to the access instruction or return the data of the specified area, so as to realize the response to the access instruction.

If the determined conditions in the previous step are met, the access instruction is intercepted or discarded, and the function of the access instruction is no longer executed. The intercepting or discarding specifically includes: firstly intercepting, then extracting the APDU, executing the APDU according to the mapping relationship, not executing if it is an illegal APDU instruction, and writing the error status to the specified address. Instead, the response to the access command is completed by executing the APDU command corresponding to the access command or directly returning the data of the designated area. The use of APDU command utilizes its normativeness in data transmission, but also ensures its isolation from the general command of U disk. Through this step, the access to the U disk by the general instruction is avoided, and the technical effect of data security is realized on the premise of ensuring the access security of the U disk.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of creating a preset file in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 . In this embodiment, the preset file is pre-stored in the preset directory of the preset partition of the U disk. Specifically, when the U disk is issued, a preset designated directory is established in the preset fixed partition of the U disk (the first partition is used in this embodiment) through the host operating system. For example, the preset directory is under the first partition. \Android\data\com.example.sgskftest. A file ZHIXINIO.CRD with a fixed name is created in the preset directory, and this file is the preset file, hereinafter referred to as the IO file.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of determining a specific address in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3 . In this embodiment, the specific address is obtained through the following steps: the address of the preset file in the file allocation table is used as the specific address. When the released U disk is in use, insert it into the USB port of the host computer. After the U disk is powered on, the security chip completes a series of initialization operations and analyzes the FAT file system of the first partition to find the IO file: ZHIXINIO.CRD. If the file exists, assign the address of the file to a specific address: the global variable ADDR; otherwise, the global variable ADDR is assigned an empty value. After the address resolution is completed, the enumeration process is completed according to the process of the host operating system. Through the above steps, the access of the IO file is equal to the matching judgment of the operation address, which simplifies the process of triggering judgment.

In one embodiment, the executing the corresponding APDU command or returning the data of the designated area includes: if the access command is a "write command", executing the APDU command related to the access command; The command is a "read command", which returns the data in the specified area. The writing process corresponding to the "write command" and the reading process corresponding to the "read command" will be described separately below.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a processing flow of a “write command” in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, when the host computer application needs to send an instruction to the U disk, the instruction to be sent is taken as the data to be written into the IO file, and the general WRITE command (0x2A) of the operating system is called. After the U disk receives the WRITE command, the Judgment: If the partition of the write operation is the first partition, and the access address is the same as the address of the global variable ADDR, the instruction will be intercepted. The data field in the instruction is analyzed and processed, and the data in the data field of the access instruction is extracted; the APDU instruction having a mapping relationship with the data is executed to complete the function corresponding to the APDU instruction. The APDU command can complete functions such as encryption, decryption, private partition storage, verification PIN and other personalized command processing. And further, save the processing result and the data to be returned in a designated area, such as the global variable Buff_CMD. The setting of the subsequent steps is beneficial to enable the upper computer to obtain the execution result of the APDU instruction and return data. The setting of the above APDU command can not only realize the data operation on the private partition of the secure USB flash drive, but also realize various customization functions.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an APDU command type in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 . After the personalized application instruction is reparsed from the WRITE command (0x2A), the instruction is executed. Among them, the personalized application instructions include: encryption, decryption, private partition storage, verification PIN and other personalized instructions.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a processing flow of a “read instruction” in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6 . In this embodiment, when the host computer software needs to obtain the instruction execution result or return data, it calls the general interface of the operating system, and sends the Read (0x28) instruction to the IO file. After the U disk receives the read instruction, it makes a judgment: if the read operation If the partition is the first partition, and the access address is the same as the global variable ADDR address, then this instruction is intercepted, and the data in the file is not actually read, but the processing result of the instruction stored in the specified area (Buff_CMD) in the previous step and The data to be returned is used as the return data of the read command and returned to the host computer application. When there is no valid data in the specified area, "null" or "error" is returned. Therefore, before returning the data in the designated area, adding a step of judging whether there is valid data in the designated area is beneficial to the abnormal feedback of the system and improves the use experience.

It can be seen from the above embodiment that the host computer software can call the general interface of the operating system to access the partition of the U disk without additional authority. Processing, realize the transmission of private instructions, and then realize security and personalized applications.

FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a U disk according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 . In this embodiment, a USB flash drive is also provided, including an interface component, a storage component and a control component, the control component is configured to: determine the access address of the access instruction obtained from the interface component as the storage component The specific address in the access command; execute the APDU command related to the access command or return the data of the specified area, so as to realize the response to the access command. The interface component may be a USB interface; the storage component may be a security chip or other types of processor chips; the storage component may be a plug-in hard disk, a Smart Media Card (SMC), a Secure Digital (SD) ) card, flash memory card (Flash Card), etc., preferably EMMC memory can be used.

For specific limitations on functions implemented by the control component, reference may be made to the limitations on the U-disk access method above, which will not be repeated here. Where the control unit can provide communication isolation between the high-speed USB and the EMMC bus.

In one embodiment, the storage component includes a preset file, the preset file is pre-stored in a preset directory of a preset partition of the storage component, and the preset file is stored in the file allocation table with the number of the preset file. address as the specific address. Through the host operating system, a specified directory is created in the fixed partition of the U disk (the first partition is used in this solution), and a file with a fixed name is created under the specified directory, that is, the aforementioned IO file: ZHIXINIO.CRD, in this embodiment The specified directory is \Android\data\com.example.sgskftest under the first partition. After the released security U disk is powered on again, the security chip parses the FAT file system of the first partition after completing a series of initialization operations, and finds the IO file: ZHIXINIO.CRD. If the file exists, assign the address of the file to the global variable ADDR; otherwise, assign ADDR to be empty. After the address resolution is completed, the enumeration process is completed according to the process of the host operating system.

In one embodiment, the storage component includes a private partition not visible to the host operating system, the private partition being accessible only by the APDU instructions. In order to improve the security of the U disk, in addition to the ordinary partition and the encrypted partition, a third sub-storage partition is also provided: the invisible "private partition": only the security chip can access, the outside is invisible, the operating system and the host computer software are not directly accessible. Data can be read and written in plaintext or in ciphertext; it can be stored in plaintext or in ciphertext; it can be managed as a single storage area, or it can be divided into different functional areas according to the application, and different security attributes can be added for independent management. Since the private partition is invisible to the host operating system and cannot utilize the file system of the host operating system, it is necessary to use the private instructions in the SCSI instruction set to manage the partition through the security chip. In this embodiment, an APDU command is used to access it.
