Abstract
One example method includes identifying a dataset, which may be a backup dataset, that has been subjected to a mix&slice process, identifying a cryptographic key that was used to encrypt the dataset, randomly selecting, from the backup dataset, a portion of the dataset, randomly applying writes to the portion of the dataset, and deleting the cryptographic key. The dataset cannot be recovered without both the cryptographic key, and the portion of the dataset to which the writes were randomly applied.
