System and Method for Fabric-Independent In-Band Privacy for Security Commands on Non-volatile Memory Express Over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028774 titled 'System and Method for Fabric-Independent In-Band Privacy for Security Commands on Non-volatile Memory Express Over Fabrics (NVMe-oF)
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, computer program product, and computing system for securely transmitting encrypted content from an initiator device to a target device across a fabric. The content is encrypted with a predefined encryption key and encapsulated in a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) over fabrics (NVMe-oF) command, which is then transmitted to the target device.
- The innovation involves securely transmitting encrypted content from one device to another.
- The content is encrypted using a predefined encryption key.
- The encrypted content is encapsulated in an NVMe-oF command.
- The encapsulated NVMe-oF security command is transmitted across the fabric to the target device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Secure transmission of sensitive data between devices.
- Data encryption for enhanced security during transmission.
- Integration with existing fabric-based communication systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures secure transmission of content by encrypting it with a predefined key.
- Provides a standardized method for encapsulating encrypted content in an NVMe-oF command.
- Facilitates secure communication between initiator and target devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security for transmitted content due to encryption.
- Standardized method for encapsulating encrypted content, ensuring compatibility.
- Efficient and reliable transmission of encrypted content across the fabric.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving content for securely transmitting from an initiator device across a fabric to a target device. the content may be encrypted with a predefined encryption key, thus defining encrypted content. the encrypted content may be encapsulated in a non-volatile memory express (nvme) over fabrics (nvme-of) command, thus defining an encapsulated nvme-of security command. the encapsulated nvme-of security command may be transmitted across the fabric to the target device.
