摘要:
A method begins by a requesting entity sending a distributed storage network (DSN) access request to a request verification entity, wherein the DSN access request includes a signed certificate and DSN accessing information. The method continues by a request verification entity sending a signed DSN access request to the requesting entity when the request verification entity signs the DSN access request after verifying the signed certificate and the DSN accessing information. The method continues by the requesting entity sending the signed DSN access request to a DSN accessing entity. The method continues by the DSN accessing entity sending an authorized DSN access request to the DSN via a network connection when the DSN accessing entity verifies a signature of the request verification entity, wherein the authorized DSN access request includes, at a minimum, the DSN accessing information.

A method begins by a processing module generating a deterministic key from data and encrypting the data using the deterministic key to produce encrypted data. The method continues with the processing module generating transformed data from the encrypted data and generating a masked key from the deterministic key and the transformed data. The method continues with the processing module combining the masked key and the encrypted data to produce a secure package.

A method operating on a computer begins by generating a read command to read at least some of a plurality of data slices from a dispersed storage network. The method continues by receiving the at least some of the plurality of data slices. The method continues by performing a reverse information dispersal algorithm on at least some of the plurality of data slices to produce a plurality of transposed data elements. The method continues by reverse transposing the plurality of transposed data elements to recover data elements of a data segment.

A method begins by a processing module determining that a data storage request is a cloud data storage request. The method continues with the processing module determining at least one of a cloud storage access reliability indication and a cloud storage data reliability indication for the data storage request. The method continues with the processing module sending the data storage request and the at least one of cloud storage access reliability indication and cloud storage data reliability indication to a cloud storage system.

A method begins by a processing module receiving a first request to store a program. The method continues with the processing module determining first error coding dispersal storage function parameters and encoding a data segment of the program. The method continues with the processing module determining whether a second request to store the program is received. The method continues with the processing module encoding a second data segment of the program in accordance with the first error coding dispersal storage function parameters when the second request is not received. The method continues with the processing module changing the first error coding dispersal storage function parameters based on the another request to produce second error coding dispersal storage function parameters when the second request is received. The method continues with the processing module encoding the second data segment in accordance with the second error coding dispersal storage function parameters.
摘要:
A gateway module translates access requests from client computers into commands for a plurality of slice servers storing data for a dispersed data storage network. The gateway program maintains a plurality of gateway modules, each providing a different access protocol to the dispersed data storage network, and each also maintaining one or more virtual storage vaults.

A distributed storage unit determines how to handle a read or write request for a data slice based on a state of the memory the data slice is to be read from or written to. When receiving a request to retrieve a data slice, the distributed storage unit, determines a state of the memory in which the data slice is stored. Based on the memory state, one of multiple different methods for obtaining the data slice is selected. The methods include, among others, a direct read from the memory, and reconstructing the data slice using other memories and parity values. In response to a write request, the distributed storage unit can determine whether to use the currently selected memory for writing, or rotate the memory used for writing, based on a state of the memory.

A dispersed storage (DS) unit for use within a dispersed storage network is capable of self-configuring using registry information provided to the DS unit. The registry information includes a slice name assignment indicating a range of slice names corresponding to a plurality of potential data slices of potential data objects to be stored in the DS unit. Based on the registry information, the DS unit allocates a portion of physical memory to store the potential data slices.

A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module generating a shared secret key from a public key of another entity and a private key using a first modulo prime polynomial function, wherein a public key is generated from the private key using a second modulo prime polynomial function and wherein the public key of the other entity is derived using the second modulo prime polynomial function on a private key of the other entity. The method continues with the DS module encrypting a message using the shared secret key to produce an encrypted message. The method continues with the DS module outputting the encrypted message to the other entity.

A method begins by a processing module dispersed storage error encoding data to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices in accordance with dispersed storage error coding parameters. The method continues with the processing module determining a plurality of sets of slice names corresponding to the plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method continues with the processing module determining integrity information for the plurality of sets of slice names and sending the plurality of sets of encoded data slices, the plurality of sets of slice names, and the integrity information to a dispersed storage network memory for storage therein.
