Catalina - The macOS system must uniquely identify peripherals before establishing a connection.

Information

Without identifying devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity.

Peripherals include, but are not limited to, such devices as flash drives, external storage, and printers.

Solution

The technology inherently meets this requirement. No fix is required.
