A network device includes a processor coupled to network interface circuitry and cryptographic circuitry. The network interface circuitry is configured to couple the network device to a local computer communication network. The processor is configured to generate an encryption key based on a hardware specific value recorded in the network device, and apply the cryptographic circuitry and the encryption key to encrypt files for storage in an Internet storage system coupled to a remote computer communication network, and present the encrypted files stored, by the processor, in the Internet storage system, to a computing device coupled to the network device via the local computer communication network, as a storage system attached to the local computer communication network.
