MULTIPLE VOLUME ENCRYPTION OF STORAGE DEVICES USING SELF ENCRYPTING DRIVE (SED)

摘要

A method for encrypting data on a disk drive using self encrypting drive is provided. The method includes encryption of data chunks of a computing device. The method further includes associating the encrypted data chunks with encryption key indexes of the computing device. Moreover, the method further includes receiving the encryption key indexes for given logical block addresses of the data chunks. The method further includes determining the encryption keys to be used to encrypt the data chunks based on the encryption key indexes of the data chunks to the disk drive.

1. A method for encrypting data on a disk drive using self encrypting drive (SED), the method comprising the steps of:
encrypting, by one or more computer processors, data chunks of a computing device; associating, by the one or more computer processors, the encrypted data chunks with encryption key indexes of the computing device; receiving, by the one or more computer processors, the encryption key indexes for given logical block addresses of the data chunk; and determining, by the one or more computer processors, the encryption keys to be used to encrypt the data chunks based on the encryption key indexes of the data chunks to the disk drive.
