Abstract
A computing device comprising a frontend and a backend is operably coupled to a plurality of storage devices. The backend comprises a plurality of buckets. Each bucket is operable to build a failure-protected stripe that spans two or more of the plurality of the storage devices. The frontend is operable to encrypt data as it enters the plurality of storage devices and decrypt data as it leaves the plurality of storage devices.
