Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing secure access to a data storage device. The data storage device may include a touch-sensitive input device (e.g., a touchscreen, a track pad, a touch pad, etc.). A user may provide touch input (e.g., taps and/or swipes) via the touch-sensitive input device. The data storage device may determine whether the touch input (e.g., tap/swipe input) is valid and may allow access to the data storage device (e.g., to non-volatile memory of the data storage device) when the touch input is valid.
