Abstract
Systems and methods for encryption management for storage devices are disclosed. A method of operation of a storage device includes receiving a first request from a client device by a user for a first interaction and authenticating that the user is permitted for the first interaction with the storage device. The method includes receiving a second request for a second interaction with the storage device and performing advanced capabilities testing on the user based on the second interaction. Based on the advanced capabilities testing, the method includes permitting the user to complete the second interaction. In this way, additional safeguards may be provided to prevent the unintentional damage or destruction of data stored on the storage device. This may include testing that the user is in the right state of mind and/or ensuring that the user is aware of the consequences of the requested interaction with the storage device.
