Abstract
Cryptographic affinities are generated to improve security in data centers. When a blade server is hot swapped, the cryptographic affinities protect electronic data stored within the blade server. The cryptographic affinities are generated based on hashing a unique chassis identifier. If the blade server is installed in a different chassis, the cryptographic affinities lock out the different chassis from read, write, and other access operations. The cryptographic affinities may even require deleting or reformatting before rekeying is commenced.
