By Francis Pelletier | January 14, 2025 at 2:00 pmSeagate Technology LLC, Fremont, CA, has been assigned a patent (12189831) developed by Keshtkarjahromi; Yasaman, Shakopee, MN, and Mendonsa; Riyan Alex, Minneapolis, MN, for a “cartridge data storage with information-theoretic security.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “IA secure cartridge-based storage system includes a set of read/write control electronics on a shared controller adapted to removably couple with each of a plurality of storage cartridges. Data blocks within primary non-volatile memory of the cartridge-based storage system collectively comprise a main store with information-theoretic security. The shared controller incorporates various controls for providing selective data access to individual data magazines and/or cartridges as well as for partitioning user data and writing the partitioned data according to an information-theoretic security scheme and reading the partitioned data and reconstructing the user data from the partitioned data.”
The patent application was filed on 2020-10-22 (17/077875).
