DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK WITH CUSTOMIZED SECURITY AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- receiving an access request;
determining security requirements corresponding to the access request;
determining a subset of a plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements;
determining at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements; and
processing the access request via the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units in accordance with the at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units.

Abstract
A method begins with a processing module selecting one of a plurality of dispersed storage (DS) processing modules for facilitating access to a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory. The method continues with the processing module sending a DSN memory access request to the one of the plurality of DS processing modules. The method continues with the processing module selecting another one of the plurality of DS processing modules when no response is received within a given time frame or when the response to the access request does not include an access indication. The method continues with the processing module sending the DSN memory access request to the another one of the plurality of DS processing modules.

8. A dispersed storage (DS) processing unit for use in a dispersed storage network (DSN) comprises:
at least one module, when operable within a computing device, that causes the computing device to; receive an access request; determine security requirements corresponding to the access request; determine a subset of a plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements; determine at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements; and process the access request via the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units in accordance with the at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable storage medium comprises:
at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), causes the one or more computing devices to; receive an access request; determine security requirements corresponding to the access request; determine a subset of a plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements; determine at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units based on the security requirements; and process the access request via the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units in accordance with the at least one connection security approach for each of the subset of the plurality of dispersed storage units. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
