Abstract
A drive subsystem engages in data communication with a storage controller by establishing logic for selectively decrypting data communications based on identification of a controller encryption port as source port in received data communications. Data communications from the storage controller are processed by (1) for data commands, based on a non-encrypting port being identified as the source port, delivering the received data commands without decryption to the target drive, and (2) for a security command containing secret data enabling operation of the target drive, based on the controller encryption port being identified as the source port, decrypting the security command and delivering the decrypted security command to the target drive.
