Abstract: A fragment and shuffle erasure coding operation is disclosed. In a transformative operation, encrypted fragments are generated from an input file. The transformative operation includes one or more iterations of chunking the file and mixing the chunks to generate a mixed sequence. The mixed sequence is sliced into encrypted fragments. The encrypted fragments are shuffled in a storage system such that physical locations of the encrypted fragments change over time.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for evaluating immutable ledger requests using a semantic taxonomy. An example system includes a memory comprising instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions. Example instructions include providing a semantic taxonomy of semantically linked terms and phrases; using the semantic taxonomy to validate input fields of requests for immutable ledger transactions according to one or more predefined templates; and submitting the validated requests to an immutable ledger.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving, by a server, an initial blockchain request from a client, and the initial blockchain request includes a description, based on the description, performing a taxonomy phrase search of a taxonomy to identify one or more phrases that correspond to the description, receiving, from the client, a phrase selection indicating one of the phrase(s) selected by a user, performing a taxonomy word search of the taxonomy to identify one or more words that correspond to respective fields of the selected phrase(s), receiving, from the client, a completed blockchain transaction request that comprises the initial blockchain request and the selected phrase(s) and selected words, and adding, to a blockchain, the selected phrase(s) and selected words of the completed blockchain request.

Abstract: A method for providing a coresident copy of external container data, that includes identifying, via a cluster storage manager, an access request to a cluster storage for external container data, where the access request is sent from a container executing on a first host, making a determination that the external container data is not stored on the first host, and based on the determination, copying the external container data from a second host to the first host to provide the coresident copy of the external container data.
