Abstract
Techniques are provided for creating secure IO (input/output) user connections between IO users and storage volumes. One method comprises establishing an IO user connection between a processor-based IO user and at least a portion of a storage volume on a storage array; obtaining IO user context information associated with the IO user connection, wherein the IO user context information comprises one or more keys for signature verification; and transmitting one or more IO operations over the IO user connection, wherein a signature associated with a given IO operation is evaluated to verify that the signature is a valid signature of one or more of the processor-based IO user and the storage array. The obtained IO user context information may further comprise an identifier of a signature generation function that generates the signature associated with the given IO operation and a connection identity string identifying the IO user connection.
