Trusted Computing Group Feature Set

This chapter provides information on WDC encryption-specific HDD firmware and features. It is assumed that the
reader is familiar with the referenced specifications and industry standards.
9.21.1 Referenced Specifications and Standards
9.21.1.1 TCG Specifications
This section references 3 separate TCG specifications, which are available on the TCG website:
(http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/):
1. TCG Core Specification, Version 2.00, Revision 1.00 (4/20/2009)
- The TCG Core Specification is the general specification for trusted computing that encompasses all classes
of devices, including storage
2. TCG Storage Interface Interactions Specification (SIIF), Version 1.0, 1/27/2009
- Specifies the interaction between the HDD and the SCSI/ATA protocols
3. TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class (SSC): Enterprise, Version 1.00, rev 3.00 (1/10/2011)
- A Security Subsystem Class defines minimum acceptable Core Specification capabilities of a storage device
in a specific class (in our case – enterprise).
- Storage devices in specific classes may have a subset of the capabilities that are defined in the core
specification
4. TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opal Specification, Version 2.00 Final Revision 1.00 (February 24,
2012)
