Abstract
A communication device and method for securing data include connecting a processor and at least one storage device via active pins of a switch in the communication device, and setting a secure command for securing data stored in the at least one storage device. The communication device and method further include invoking the secure command to delete the data in the at least one storage device, if text data of a received message matches the secure command, and switching the active pins to the inactive pins so as to disconnect the processor and the at least one storage device, thereby disabling the at least one storage device.
