Can you provide me datasheet and technical reference material to what
"ATA Security" is?  Which ATA specification is this documented in?  I'd
like to read it.
I think you can found it in ATA-ATAPI-7 vol.1: "4.7 Security Mode feature set".

Exactly.  Even though the actual T13 standard must be purchased, you can
find the documents and drafts of it online at various places by googling
for appropriate keywords.  For example:

   http://hddguru.com/content/en/documentation/2006.01.27-ATA-ATAPI-7/

The ATA command set, including the ATA Security commands, is in vol. 1.

In 2005, there was a much-cited article in the German c't magazine about
the security implications of ATA Security, which might be worth a read
too.  It is available online in English:
