Abstract: A distributed storage system, such as a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment, stores data in storage nodes as immutable key-value entries. A coordinator storage node creates a key-value entry and attempts to store the key-value entry in the coordinator storage node and in neighbor storage nodes. If the storage of the key-value entry in the in the coordinator storage node and in the neighbor storage node is successful, the coordinator storage node pushes the key-value entry to other storage nodes in the distributed storage system for storage as replicas.

Abstract: A computer and method for managing a shared key in a cluster of computers utilizes a node key to decrypt an encrypted shared key to obtain the shared key. A computer in the cluster can receive the node key from another computer in the cluster by transmitting an encrypted node key that has been encrypted using a master key to the other computer in the cluster, which is then decrypted using the master key at the other computer. The received node key can then be used by the requesting computer to decrypt the encrypted shared key to obtain the shared key.
