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:

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:
