Abstract
A method for managing a data replication operation includes: obtaining, by a first security module (FSM), UTC-based system time of a first storage area network (SAN) infrastructure; generating, by the FSM, a secure string based on the UTC-based system time and a configuration parameter set by a user of the first SAN infrastructure; encrypting, by the FSM, the secure string to generate an encrypted secure string; appending, by the FSM, the encrypted secure string to a data replication request to generate an encrypted secure string-appended request, sending, by the FSM, the encrypted secure string-appended request to a second SAN infrastructure; making, after intercepting the encrypted secure string-appended request and by a second security module (SSM), a determination that the encrypted secure string-appended request is valid; and initiating, by the SSM, the operation from the first SAN infrastructure to the second SAN infrastructure by sending a notification to the FSM.
