Abstract

In a data storage system, stored data is secured using a key-based encryption algorithm. The disclosure provides mechanisms for increasing security of the stored data by storing a unique key used to encrypt and/or decrypt the data in a volatile key storage of a backplane, where power to the volatile key storage is routed through a connection that is closed when a corresponding data storage device is connected to the backplane and open when the corresponding data storage device is disconnected from the backplane.
