  • Optimizable full-path encryption in a virtualization environment
    Patent number: 10911225
    Abstract: An approach for full-path data encryption, where user virtualized computers (e.g., user VMs) are configured to communicate with other virtualized computers or VMs using IPsec protocol encryption standards. The user VMs may send a first encryption or authorization key to the other VMs, which the other VMs may use to authenticate the user VMs and encrypt and decrypt data stored to storage devices using a second encryption key. In some approaches, the other VMs may interpret or decrypt the data sent via IPsec and then perform data optimizations (e.g., compression, deduplication) on the data before decrypting/encrypting with the second key.
