Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for rekeying encryption keys for removable storage media. A rekey request is received for a coupled removable storage media, wherein encryption on the coupled removable storage media uses a first key and wherein the rekey request indicates a second key. The first key and the second key are accessed in response to the rekey request. The first key is used to perform decryption for the coupled removable storage media and the second key is used to perform encryption for the coupled removable storage media.

Provided are a computer program product, system and method for a redundant key server encryption environment. A key server transmits public keys associated with the key server and at least one device to at least one remote key server. The key server receives from the at least one remote key server public keys associated with the at least one remote key server. The key server receives a request for an encryption key from a requesting device comprising one of the at least one device and generates the encryption key for use by the requesting device to unlock a storage. The key server generates a first wrapped encryption key by encrypting the encryption key with a requesting device public key associated with the requesting device. The key server generates a second wrapped encryption key by encrypting the encryption key with a public key associated with the key server. At least one additional wrapped encryption key is generated for each of the at least one remote key server by encrypting the encryption key with the at least one public key provided by the at least one remote key server. The key server transmits the first, second and the at least one additional wrapped encryption key to the requesting device.

Provided is a method, system, and program for enabling access to data in a storage medium within one of a plurality of storage cartridges capable of being mounted into a interface device. An association is provided of at least one coding key to a plurality of storage cartridges. A determination is made of one coding key associated with one target storage cartridge, wherein the coding key is capable of being used to access data in the storage medium within the target storage cartridge. The determined coding key is encrypted. The coding key is subsequently decrypted to use to decode and code data stored in the storage medium.

Provided are techniques for filling a drive table. A key request including at least one of a drive serial number and a world wide node name is received from a data storage drive. It is determined whether the drive serial number or a world wide node name are in an entry in a drive table. In response to determining that the drive serial number or a world wide node name are not in an entry in a drive table, a new entry is automatically added in the drive table that includes the at least one of a drive serial number and a world wide node name.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for asymmetric maximum likelihood detection. An initialization module initializes a plurality of branch metrics and a plurality of path memories. A coefficient module calculates a plurality of coefficients. A computation module calculates a first and second specified likelihood function. A selection module calculates a third specified branch metric as the maximum of the first and second specified likelihood functions. A path metrics module calculates a third specified path memory from a first and second specified path memory. A results module identifies a data output value from one or more path memories.

A method, a system and a computer program product are provided to auto configure a drive list. When information is received for a drive, the key manager compares the information to drive information on a drive list. If the drive is not on the drive list the drive list is auto configured by adding the drive to the drive list. By adding the drive to the drive list the drive is able to obtain keys from the key manager to perform encryption and decryption.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for self-describing, heterogeneous magnetic tape formatting. A detection module determines if data is to be encrypted when written to a magnetic tape in response to a host command and if the data is already encrypted. An encryption module encrypts the data if the data is to be encrypted and if the data is not already encrypted. A write module writes a reserved codeword followed by the data to the magnetic tape wherein the reserved codeword is configured as an encryption reserved codeword if the data is encrypted. If the data is not encrypted, the reserved codeword is configured as a clear reserved codeword. The encrypted and unencrypted data segments are intermixed on the magnetic tape.

In a tape having separate servo bands of patterns positioned laterally across the tape, the patterns of a separate servo band have at least one differentiating characteristic with respect to patterns of another of the separate servo bands. The differentiating characteristic allows identification of the separate servo bands. For example, the patterns of a separate servo band have differing azimuthal orientations of detectable transitions with respect to another servo band, such as being laterally inverted. In another, variations in the width of gaps of patterns are made with respect to another servo band. In another, variations are made in the number of the detectable transitions of patterns with respect to the patterns of another servo band.

A cartridge handling system and method initialize a data storage cartridge having rewritable media for tamper resistant write once recording. A write once flag is written to a lockable section of a cartridge memory; the lockable section is locked to read-only; and a write once flag is written to a required data set of the rewritable media. Thus, write once flags are provided both at the locked read-only section of the cartridge memory, and at the required data set of the rewritable media.
