The library could easily be used for devices supporting the Opalite and Pyrite SSCs, not just the Opal SSC. With some effort, I suspect that Enterprise SSC could also be supported. So, a broader name might indeed be useful. The full names of the specifications are: TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opal TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opalite TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Pyrite TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Enterprise --- Robert Elliott, HPE Persistent Memory
