the controller user table of the storage fig4 illustrates a method 400 of system 10 in accessing the rewritable media 60 of the security enhanced storage enclosure 35 the controller authenticator 40 and the storage authenticator 30 perform mutual authentication step 405 as described by method 300 of fig3 if authentication fails decision step 410 the worm storage module 25 denies access to the worm logic controller 20 step 415 if authentication succeeds decision step 410 the worm storage module 25 receives a command such as for example a write request step 420 the controller authenticator 40 periodically authenticates the data stream from the worm logic controller 20 step 425 if the authentication of the data stream is invalid decision step 430 the worm storage module 25 fails the command execution step 435 and the storage is locked from further access from the command sender if the authentication of the data stream is valid decision step 430 the worm storage module 25 executes the command on the rewritable media 60 step 440 fig5 fig5 a 5 b illustrates a method 500 of system 10 in performing the maintenance and management phase a user begins the maintenance and management phase step 505 if the user is adding a new security enhanced storage enclosure 35 decision step 510 system 10 performs the registration phase of method 300 in fig3 step 515 if the user is adding a new worm logic controller 20 decision step 520 system 10 performs the registration phase of.
