Abstract
A computer system in which an encryption-decryption process performed by one encryption-decryption module can be moved to another without stopping the process for a read/write request from a host computer. The computer system has a host computer, and a storage system for storing encrypted data. The storage system provides a storage area for accepting access from the host computer. In performing a process for changing the data encrypted and stored by the destination source, the move destination encrypts the data decrypted by the move source which further encrypts and stores the data encrypted by the move destination, and after all data is stored, the move source decrypts and stores the further encrypted data.
