发明名称 Selective shredding in a deduplication system
摘要 Making a target file impractical to be retrieved comprises decrypting a directory manager file using a first directory manager file key. The directory manager file includes an encryption key for a segment that is used when reconstructing a target file. The directory manager file is modified by deleting a reference to the target file. The reference includes a file encryption key. Retrieving the target file is made impractical by the deletion of the reference to the target file in the directory manager file. The modified directory manager file is encrypted using a second directory manager file key.

主权项 1. A system for making a target file impractical to be retrieved, comprising: a processor configured to: receive a target file;segment the target file into a plurality of segments;determine a fingerprint and an encryption key for each segment;build a file encryption tree being stored in a hierarchical data structure, comprising to: group a plurality of segments to form a first tier, comprising to: encrypt a first segment using a corresponding first encryption key to obtain a first encrypted segment;encrypt a second segment using a corresponding second encryption key to obtain a second encrypted segment; andgroup, to form the first tier, the first and second encrypted segments and a first fingerprint relating to the first and second encrypted segments; andform a second tier, comprising to: compute a second fingerprint based on the first and second encryption keys;group the second fingerprint and the first and second encryption keys to obtain the second tier;decrypt a directory manager file using a first directory manager file key, the directory manager file relating to the file encryption tree, wherein the directory manager file includes an encryption key that is used when reconstructing a target file;modify the directory manager file by deleting the encryption key;encrypt the modified directory manager file using a second directory manager file key; anddelete the first directory manager file key to make the target file impractical to be retrieved; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
