Securing recovery data distributed amongst multiple cloud-based storage services

摘要

Described is a system for securing recovery information that is distributed amongst multiple cloud-based systems. Encrypted recovery data may be stored on at least one cloud-based system. To decrypt the recovery data, coordination between multiple cloud-based systems may be required to obtain the encryption key. Accordingly, a production system does not have to perform key management. Therefore, even if the production system is compromised by a malicious party, the encryption key remains secure as multiple cloud-based systems would also have to be comprised. In addition, the system may coordinate the creation and distribution of the recovery information, as well as the acquisition of such recovery information as part of a data recovery process. Thus, the system may secure recovery information by leveraging multiple cloud-based systems (or services).
