Abstract
A method for execution by a processing unit in a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method includes creating a unique identifier for intent processing entities (IPEs) and when creating intents, encrypting the contents of intents using an associated intent encryption key (IEK). The method continues by the processing unit encrypting each IEK using a key associated with a trusted IPE (TIPE) to generate an encrypted IEK, followed by storing and transmitting the encrypted IEK, the encrypted contents of the intent, and the IPE ID to the target TIPEs.
