    Abstract: Systems and methods for encryption key shredding to protect non-persistent data are described. In one embodiment, the storage system device may include a storage drive and a controller. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to power on the storage drive, identify an encryption key on the storage drive created upon powering on the storage drive, and encrypt data in a cache of the storage drive using the encryption key. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to power off the storage drive and delete the encryption key upon powering off the storage drive. In some cases, the storage drive may include at least one of a solid state drive and a hard disk drive. In some embodiments, the storage drive may include a hybrid storage drive that includes both a solid state drive and a hard disk drive.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a data storage device configured as a storage compute appliance. In some embodiments, the data storage device has a controller circuit and a non-volatile memory (NVM) with an overall data storage capacity. A processor authenticates each of a plurality of authorized users of the NVM via data exchanges between a host device and the processor without reference to an external authentication authority device. Upon authentication, each authorized user is allocated a separate portion of the overall data storage capacity of the NVM using an allocation model. The size of at least one of the separate portions is subsequently adjusted based on an access history of the NVM. The storage device may be a key-value storage device so that a separate set of key values is provided to each authorized user to identify data blocks stored to and retrieved from the NVM.
