Abstract
A data storage device can employ a front end bus for boot operations. The physical connection of a secure boot assembly to the front end bus can provide efficient and reliable booting of the data storage device without a connection to a remote host or network. A secure boot assembly can provide a security module that connects to the boot module of the data storage device to authenticate a trustworthiness of the data storage device while the data storage device is disconnected from any remote host.
