Abstract
A key identifier for an encryption key repository is stored with customer data on a logical device. When the customer data is compressible, the key identifier is stored in space freed by compressing the customer data. When the customer data is not compressible, a portion of the customer data is copied to a key record in the key repository identified by the key identifier, and the key identifier overwrites the copied customer data.
