Abstract: A storage system may include at least one storage device and a server. The storage device may store an incoming data, calculate a hash value for the incoming data, and store the hash value as meta data. The server may provide the incoming data to the storage device, read the meta data from the storage device, determine whether the meta data is duplicate in the table, and perform a deduplication process regarding the incoming data based on the determination result.

Abstract: A memory system for utilizing a deduplication process may include a controller, a storage media, and a non-volatile RAM including a metadata journal and a metadata cache, the metadata cache including an address table and a fingerprinting table, and the metadata journal including a plurality of transactions indicating whether a transaction is successfully written on the storage media.

Abstract: Receiving, at a storage array controller, a write instruction that includes a logical address and write data. Using the storage array controller to generate a fingerprint from the write data and sending, from the storage array controller to one or more recipient storage devices, a query that includes the fingerprint, wherein the query asks the recipient storage devices if the fingerprint is stored on any of the recipient storage devices.

Abstract: A write instruction includes a logical address and write data to be stored. An address mapping master is used to determine if the logical address is stored in an address table. A deduplication state is selected based at least in part on whether the logical address is stored in the address table and whether a fingerprint is stored in a fingerprint table. The fingerprint is generated using the write data. A fingerprinting slave is used to determine if the fingerprint is stored in the fingerprint table, where the address mapper and the fingerprinter are configured to run in parallel and the address mapper is the master to the fingerprinter's slave.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for encrypting and/or decrypting data in a data storage environment. A data storage device controller is configured to extract parameters from host memory access commands and use key selection circuitry to select an encryption model based on the parameters. Key selection is determined by the selected encryption model.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for remote password based authentication using smart cards for accessing a communications network. The disclosed method does not require a remote authentication sever to maintain a table of passwords for all users. The disclosed method and system also support mutual authentication. It not only prevents the illegal use of system resources by an impersonator, the user can also authenticate the identity of the remote authentication server.

Abstract: A bidirectional authentication method, a system, and a network device, that relates to network information security are provided. The method may include: a network device configured to generate an inspection parameter according to a public key of the peer network device and a private key of the network device, the public key and the private key of the network device being generated according to an identifier of the network device. The network device may perform reciprocal authentication according to the inspection parameter generated by the network device and an inspection parameter sent by the peer network device. A system and a network device for bidirectional authentication are also provided herein. As such, extra calculation caused by certificate authentication may be reduced, and thus provide a more secure and reliable system having a simplified key management.
