Abstract
An NVMe-oF authentication system includes an authentication verification entity coupled to an NVMe subsystem that is coupled to an NVMe host device. The NVMe subsystem transmits a first challenge to the NVMe host device and, in response, receives a first challenge reply from the NVME host device. The NVMe subsystem then generates a first authentication verification request communication that includes a first response that was provided in the first challenge reply by the NVMe host device using a first instance of a first secret that is stored in the NVMe host device, and transmits the first authentication verification request communication to the authentication verification entity. The authentication verification entity receives the first authentication verification request communication, verifies the first response using a second instance of the first secret that is stored in the authentication verification entity and, in response, transmits a first authentication verification response communication to the NVMe subsystem.
