Method of access control to stored information and system thereof

The presently disclosed subject relates at least to a method and system for controlling access to a logical unit (LU) in a logical storage space, available to a given initiator, representing a corresponding physical storage space, said logical storage space being accessible via a storage control layer, said storage control layer being associated with a security manager. A first value is generated by the security manager, based on a secret key, and transmitted to host requesting permission to access the logical storage space, while the secret key is made available to a target associated with the logical storage space. The host sends to the control device an access related request, the request comprising a second value which was generated based on the first value. Responsive to the command the target calculates the first value, based on the secret key and the second value based on the first value. The second value is validated with the help of said secret key and the respective access is allowed in case the second value is validated.
