At work each month a set of hours are set aside/scheduled for employees to learn something new. I have worked at more than a dozen companies and have never seen a periodic time scheduled in the company calendar for it. Yesterday we had eight hours scheduled for learning. During that time an invite for a one hour presentation UnsafeCSharp showed up. I watched and enjoyed it. In addition most presentations at work are recorded so I am planning on watching it again later today.
As I am writing this post I am not sure if there are things that were presented that are company confidential. For that reason, at this time I am not disclosing the name of the presenter or will dive into specific topics. Continue reading “Notes from the UnsafeCSharp Presentation”
This post has to do with encrypting data in a storage server. When the storage server in question was architected and implemented the data at rest and in transit were raw (unencrypted). The main reason was that clients and servers where deployed in the same facility.
About a couple decades ago I came up with the idea for a storage server. This occurred while experimenting and working with a Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) product that worked on a Sun Solaris system and used tapes in an automated library to manage the contents of the files. At that time the idea of a Content Addressable Storage (CAS) was several years away.
