A process and system for virtually managing enclosures. A process determines whether a system includes an enclosure processor, a virtual enclosure processor, or both an enclosure processor and a virtual enclosure processor. The process receives a command by a virtual enclosure processor if it is determined that the system includes the virtual enclosure processor. The virtual enclosure processor manages a peripheral in an enclosure. Additionally, a process activates a virtual enclosure processor in a system including a real enclosure processor. The virtual enclosure processor receives a command. The virtual enclosure processor controls a peripheral.

A method according to one embodiment may include discovering at least one ATA/ATAPI target device. The method of this embodiment may also include discovering a SAS address for at the least one ATA/ATAPI target device. The method of this embodiment may also include returning the SAS address for the at least one ATA/ATAPI target device in response to a device inquiry command. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Integrated circuit capable of assigning a unique identity to ATA/ATAPI devices

A data security system ( ) provides cryptographic services in a multiprocessor platform ( ) supporting a distributed application ( ). The distributed application ( ) includes a cryptographic object ( ) that is executable exclusively on the data security system ( ). An input interface object ( ), a cryptographic function ( ), and an output interface objection ( ) form the cryptographic object ( ). The data security system ( ) includes a first processor element ( ) for executing the input interface object ( ), a second processor element ( ) for executing the cryptographic function ( ), and a third processor element ( ) for executing the output interface object ( ). The combination of data security system ( ) and cryptographic object ( ) ensures the separation of plain text data ( ) from cipher text data ( ).
