摘要:
A method, system and program are provided for enabling selective access to multiple users' encrypted data in a single storage cartridge. A unique, derived key is generated for each user's data by performing cryptographic operations on a combination of a common base key and metadata related to the data to be encrypted (e.g. its total block count). The base data key is wrapped with one or more encryption keys to form one or more encryption encapsulated data keys (EEDKs). The base key and the derived key are wrapped to create a session encrypted data key (SEDK), which along with the EEDKs, are conveyed to the tape drive, where the SEDK is decrypted. The EEDKs are then stored in one or more places on the storage cartridge. The base key and the derived key are used to encrypt a predetermined user's data, with the derived key stored on the cartridge with the encrypted data. The encrypted data may be subsequently decrypted by retrieving the EEDK and decrypting it with a decryption key to extract the base data key. The extracted base data key can then be used with other information to calculate the derived key. Once calculated, the derived key is used to decrypt its associated encrypted data.

A method, system and program are provided for enabling access to encrypted data in a storage cartridge by wrapping the data key used to encrypt the data with one or more encryption keys (e.g., a public key from a public/private key pair) to form one or more encryption encapsulated data keys (EEDKs) and then storing the EEDK(s) on the storage cartridge along with the encrypted data. The encrypted data may be decoded by retrieving the EEDK from the storage cartridge, decrypting the EEDK with a decryption key (e.g., the private key from the public/private key pair) to extract the underlying data key, and then using the extracted data key to decrypt the encrypted data.

摘要:
A method, system and program are provided for enabling access to encrypted data in a storage cartridge by separately wrapping the data key used to encrypt the data with separate encryption keys (e.g., a public key from a public/private key pair) to form encryption encapsulated data keys (EEDKs) that are stored on the storage cartridge along with the encrypted data. With multiple EEDKs stored on the cartridge, a multi-user transport mechanism is provided where each user can access and decode the encrypted data by retrieving and decrypting an EEDK with a decryption key (e.g., the private key from the public/private key pair) to extract the underlying data key, and then using the extracted data key to decrypt the encrypted data.

Apparatus and computer program products are provided to monitor and report performance data of a device such as a data storage drive. A plurality of quantitative values are obtained from feedback and measurement mechanisms in a data storage device of a first model during operation of the storage device. The plurality of quantitative values are normalized. Then, one or more qualitative values are generated from one or more normalized quantitative values and evaluated against corresponding baseline performance values established for the first model.

A method, system, and apparatus for re-conveying input/output (I/O) operations utilizing a sequential-access data storage device secondary communication port are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided which comprises receiving an input/output (I/O) operation request via a first communication port of a primary data storage device, processing the I/O operation request utilizing the primary data storage device, and re-conveying the I/O operation request to a secondary data storage device substantially simultaneously with the processing via a second communication port of the primary data storage device. In the described embodiment, the primary data storage device comprises a sequential-access data storage device.

A method for determining volume coherency is disclosed herein. Upon completing a first write job to a volume partition, the method makes a copy of a volume change reference (VCR) value associated with the volume. The VCR value is configured to change in a non-repeating manner each time content on the volume is modified. Prior to initiating a second write job to the volume partition, the method retrieves the copy and compares the copy to the VCR value. If the copy matches the VCR value, the method determines that a logical object on the partition was not modified between the first and second write jobs. If the copy does not match the VCR value, the method determines that the logical object on the partition was modified between the first and second write jobs. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
