Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for key in lockbox encrypted data deduplication are provided. The method collects a set of deduplication information by a host in communication with a storage system via a communications network. A fingerprint is generated for a data chunk to be stored on a storage system. The method encrypts the data chunk using a first encryption key to generate an encrypted data chunk. The fingerprint is encrypted with a second encryption key to generate an encrypted fingerprint. The method encrypts the first encryption key with a third encryption key to generate a first encrypted key. The method encrypts the first encryption key with a fourth encryption key to generate a second encryption key. A data package is generated for transmission to the storage system. The method transmits the data package to the storage system.
