Abstract
In one embodiment, data at rest is securely stored. A data safe performing data plane processing operations in response to requests of received read data requests, received write data requests, and received read information responses, with the data safe being immutable to processing-related modifications resulting from said performing data plane processing operations. In one embodiment, performing these data plane processing operations does not expose any pilot keys outside the data safe in clear form nor in encrypted form. The pilot keys are used to encrypt information that is subsequently stored in a storage system. One embodiment uses pilot keys to encrypt data that is subsequently stored in a storage system. One embodiment uses data cryptographic keys to encrypt data, uses the pilot keys to cryptographically-wrap (encrypt) the data cryptographic keys, and stores the cryptographically wrapped data keys and encrypted data in a storage system.
