Method, apparatus and computer program product for managing encryption key in a storage system
Abstract:
Techniques manage an encryption key in a storage system. The techniques involve: transmitting an encryption key request from a storage management component to a key management service component; obtaining, via the key management service component, an encryption key encrypted by the key management service component based on the encryption key request; providing the obtained encrypted encryption key to the storage management component; maintaining, in the storage management component, correspondence between the encrypted encryption key and a storage device; and registering, according to the correspondence, the encrypted encryption key corresponding to the storage device to an encryption hardware unit, such that the encryption hardware unit can decrypt the encrypted encryption key to obtain the encryption key corresponding to the storage device. Effective management of the encryption key is thus realized.
