MANAGING DISTRIBUTION AND RETRIEVAL OF SECURITY KEY FRAGMENTS AMONG PROXY STORAGE DEVICES

摘要

A method performed by a processor of a computer, includes obtaining a security key associated with data, dividing the security key into key fragments, and distributing different ones of the key fragments to different proxy storage devices. Key fragments are received from the proxy storage devices, a reconstructed security key is generated based on the key fragments received from the proxy storage devices, and programmatic access to the data is controlled based on the reconstructed security key. Related computer program products and systems are disclosed.
