Abstract
Methods and systems for securing data are disclosed. To secure data, signed tokens may be used to authenticate operations to be performed by storage arrays. The operations may modify data stored in the storage array and/or provide copies of stored data. The signed token may specify limits on the authority of various entities to invoke various functions of storage arrays, and include cryptographic data usable by the storage arrays to authenticate the tokens. By requiring that tokens be included with operations to be performed by storage arrays, the storage arrays may be less likely to perform undesired operations.
