Abstract
Methods and systems for managing access to stored data resources assign one or more wrapped (encrypted) encryption keys to each data resource. The resources are encrypted, and the keys may be stored in an access control list (ACL) in association with the encrypted data resources. The keys may be wrapped with metadata that indicates who or what is authorized to use the resource and what role the user or users may have with respect to the resource. The keys may be unwrapped upon receipt of access requests from authorized users, and may be used to decrypt the data resources.
