Abstract
A method includes detecting a storage device and performing a check-in process for the storage device. The check-in process includes scanning the storage device to identify any malware contained on the storage device, digitally signing one or more clean files on the storage device, and modifying a file system of the storage device. The method may also include performing a check-out process for the storage device, where the check-out process includes restoring the file system of the storage device. The file system of the storage device can be modified during the check-in process so that one or more protected nodes within a protected system are able to recognize the modified file system of the storage device and nodes outside of the protected system cannot recognize the modified file system of the storage device.
