摘要:
A method for use of a physical data storage medium, the method including receiving a first read request for data stored in any of a plurality of storage sub-units on a physical data storage medium, and decrypting the requested data if an indicator associated with the requested data storage sub-unit indicates that data in the requested storage sub-unit is encrypted.

A method for accessing a storage device, the method includes: receiving, by storage device, a block based storage access command and cryptographically secured access control information; wherein the block based storage access command and the cryptographically secured access control information are associated with at least one fixed size block of data and with a client; processing at least a portion of the cryptographically secured access control information by using a secret key accessible to the storage device and to a security entity; and selectively executing the block based storage access command in response to a result of the processing.

In accordance with one or more embodiments, an inode implemented file system may be utilized to support both offline and inline deduplication. When the first content is stored in the storage medium, one inode is used to associate a filename with the data blocks where the first content is stored. When a second content that is a duplicate of the first content is to be stored, then a parent inode is created to point to the data blocks in which a copy of the first content is stored. Further, two inodes are created, one representing the first content and the other representing the second content. Both inodes point to the same parent inode that points to the data blocks where the first content is stored.

A computer based method for the preservation of a digital information in a data set includes receiving a data set to be preserved, the data set including a plurality of preservation objects; creating a fixity table, the fixity table including one or more data types corresponding to preservation data types contained in the preservation objects, each data type being assigned an importance rank and one or more fixity function; for each preservation object, creating a Merkle tree corresponding to the preservation object and based on the fixity table.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system and program product for modifying content usage conditions during broadcast content distribution. Specifically, the present invention allows protected (e.g., encrypted, secured, etc.) content to be received along with content usage conditions, an encrypted combination of the content usage conditions and a title key (e.g., a MAC), and a key management block. Using the key management block, a key encrypting key can be determined for decrypting the combination. Once the combination is decrypted, the content usage conditions can be modified (e.g., edited, added to, etc.).
摘要:
A method for determining power consumption in a data storage system is provided. The method comprises determining data access patterns for at least a first storage device in a storage system based on operations performed by the first storage device; and calculating power consumption for the storage system by interpolating costs associated with the operations performed by the first storage device, wherein the cost associated with each operation is determined based on: (1) various levels of activities for the first storage device and a mix of workload characteristics, and (2) predetermined power consumption measurements obtained from one or more benchmarks for same operations performed by a second storage device in a test environment.

The present invention provides for the protection of and ability to upgrade to new formats of digital content by providing consumers of the digital content the capability of purchasing content insurance on digital content they consume. By purchasing insurance on content, at a later time consumers are able to return to the content distribution channels and re-obtain the previously purchased content in the same, or new format as the original purchased.

摘要:
A tree is used to partition stateless receivers in a broadcast content encryption system into subsets. Two different methods of partitioning are disclosed. When a set of revoked receivers is identified, the revoked receivers define a relatively small cover of the non-revoked receivers by disjoint subsets. Subset keys associated with the subsets are then used to encrypt a session key that in turn is used to encrypt the broadcast content. Only non-revoked receivers can decrypt the session key and, hence, the content.
