SHIELD: Encrypting Persistent Data of LSM-KVS from Monolithic to Disaggregated Storage
June 25, 2025
In this research, we introduce SHIELD, a novel log-structured-merge tree-based (e.g., RocksDB, LevelDB, and Cassandra) data encrypting, decentralized data encryption key (DEK) management, and LSM-native DEK rotation framework to address the challenges of providing robust security for high performance in both monolith and disaggregated storage deployments.
