An apparatus includes a cryptographic key for decrypting content to be read from a storage media, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to, upon a boot of a server, dynamically generate a new boot authentication code using a prescribed method and determine a reconstituted boot authentication code. The reconstituted boot authentication code was reconstituted from an initial boot authentication code that was previously generated using the prescribed method. The control circuit is configured to compare the new and reconstituted boot authentication codes, and, based on a determination that the new and reconstituted boot authentication codes do not match, take a corrective action.

Detection and remediation of unauthorized boot of storage media

An apparatus includes a cryptographic key for encrypting content to be written to a storage media. The apparatus includes a control circuit configured to determine that the storage media has been physically moved, and, based on the determination that the storage media has been physically moved, erase the storage media by deleting the cryptographic key.
