Changes in Encryption and Other Security Algorithms

Tue Sep 17 | 2:00pm
Location:
Winchester
Abstract

The IEEE Security In Storage Work Group (SISWG) produces standards used by many storage developers, storage vendors, and storage system operators. New and ongoing work includes:
* Improving security of the XTS-AES encryption algorithm used by self-encrypting storage devices.
* Guiding users in sanitizing their storage devices.
* Guiding users in sanitizing large-scale virtual and cloud storage systems.
* Coordinating with other standards organizations, such as NIST and SNIA, to improve the coherence of the standards ecosystem.

Learning Objectives

Understand the standards ecosystem and the position of SISWG and its work.
Understand the tightened requirements in the XTS-AES encryption algorithm (IEEE 1619), the reasons for those changes, and the effects on the producers and consumers of storage devices.
Understand upcoming standards and their effects on the storage devices produced or used by the participant's organization.
