Abstract
Methods and systems for encrypting data for a multi-tenant filesystem environment are provided. A system for encrypting data for a multitenant filesystem environment includes a file characteristics module that determines file characteristics for a file. The system also includes a user identification module that collects user identification information for one or more file operations, where a file operation in the one or more file operations is performed on a portion of the file. The system further includes a portion information module that gathers portion information about the portion of the file. Additionally, the system includes an encryption module that associates the portion information with a subtenancy encryption key in one or more subtenancy encryption keys based on the user identification information, where the one or more subtenancy encryption keys are associated with the file.
