Abstract
Systems and methods for accessing data secured and encrypted using a file system manager are disclosed. One method includes determining whether a community of interest (COI) key obtained from a security appliance matches a COI key associated with a file structure managed by the file system manager that is the subject of a file system request issued by a caller. The method further includes identifying an entry included in a key bank associated with the COI key and the file structure that is the subject of the file system request, the key bank storing encrypted versions of a metadata key. The method also includes decrypting the metadata key using the COI key, decrypting at least one block encryption key using the metadata key, and decrypting a block of data associated with the at least one block encryption key.
