Summary:A method includes: receiving an operational command directed to a solid-state drive (SSD) and a security credential; issuing an asynchronous event from the SSD to an authentication agent including the security credential and a security certificate, wherein the security certificate is encoded based on the security credential and is stored in the SSD; forwarding the security credential and the security certificate from the authentication agent to an authentication server; validating the security certificate based on the security credential at an authentication server; providing a validation response from the authentication server to the authentication agent; forwarding the validation response from the authentication agent to the SSD; and executing the operational command based on the validation response.
