Re: uniquely identifing USB device

[John Morrison <john.morrison101 () gmail com>]

Erki,

Why do you want to identify the USB stick?

If it is to check if it is an authorised one could you not just store
a unique hash on it? If it doesn't have a hash, or the hash does not
match what you generated, it's not authorised. Just an MD5 hash might
be enough.
