Abstract
Example distributed object storage systems and methods provide secure object replication. Data objects are encrypted for reading and decrypted for writing to prevent unwanted data access by a replication user credential that does not need access to the user data. During an object storage operation for reading and writing an identified data object, read operations are encrypted to create an encrypted data object corresponding to the identified data object. The encrypted data object may be moved between a first storage node and a second storage node. The encrypted data object is decrypted during write operations to write the identified data object to the second storage node. A user credential in the object storage operation may identify a replication user credential for selectively encrypting and decrypting the identified data object.
