Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for remote management of self-encrypting managed devices (SEMDs) with embedded wireless authentication. One method includes providing a user interface to access a management server for managing users and devices. The SEMD is in wireless communication with the mobile device and is connection with the management server. Additionally, the management server checks user-authentication information of the user for unlocking access to the SEMD before is enabled to unlock the SEMD via mobile application of the mobile device. Further, the management server sends an unlock command to the mobile device based on the checking, the mobile device sending an unlock request to the SEMD via the wireless communication. The SEMD is configured to unlock the data channel to provide data access to encrypted storage in the SEMD.
