Abstract
Efficient methods for implementing security and manageability for stored data objects involve logical object reorganization, computation and injection of metadata, and specialized data access operations. Methods for utilization and incorporation of cryptographic key hierarchies and security functions for data objects are disclosed. Cryptographic keying and other data management operations may be performed for individual blocks within a data object rather than only for the entire data object in order to achieve performance objectives.
