ABSTRACT:
Imaging devices can have mass storage devices associated with them. In a networked environment that allows mounting of a shared resource, these mass storage devices can be viewed or even altered by anyone who can connect to the imaging device. However, unrestricted access may be undesirable. The various embodiments provide methods and apparatus for securing these mass storage devices. Security is variable among different sets of users or external devices attempting access of the mass storage device.
