Abstract

A processing device may generate a data encryption key configured to encrypt unique data within a clone of an encrypted data set and associated with a set of transaction identifiers of a transaction based file system. The processing device may further wrap the data encryption key with a wrapping key, create a cloned encrypted data set with the data encryption key, and store the wrapped data encryption key with the cloned encrypted data set indexed by at least one of the set of transaction identifiers.
