SECURITY RESPONSE PROTOCOL BASED ON SECURITY ALERT ENCODED DATA SLICES OF A DISTRIBUTED STORAGE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- receiving, from a requesting device, an access request that includes at least one security alert encoded data slice of a set of security alert encoded data slices, wherein a security alert message is dispersed storage error encoded into the set of security alert encoded data slices and stored in a set of storage units of the DSN, wherein the set of storage units further stores a plurality of sets of encoded data slices, wherein a data object is dispersed storage error encoded into the plurality of sets of encoded data slices; and
based on the access request for the at least one security alert encoded data slice;
identifying the requesting device as an unauthorized DSN device; and
initiating a security response protocol within the DSN.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, from a requesting device, an access request for at least one security alert encoded data slice of a set of security alert encoded data slices. A security alert message is dispersed storage error encoded into the set of security alert encoded data slices and stored in a set of storage units of a dispersed storage network (DSN). The set of storage units further stores a plurality of sets of encoded data slices, which corresponds to a data object that is dispersed storage error encoded. The method further includes, based on the access request for the at least one security alert encoded data slice, identifying the requesting device as an unauthorized DSN device. The method further includes initiating a security response protocol within the DSN.

11. A computer readable memory comprises:
-
a first memory that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), causes the device to; receive, from a requesting device, an access request that includes at least one security alert encoded data slice of a set of security alert encoded data slices, wherein a security alert message is dispersed storage error encoded into the set of security alert encoded data slices and stored in a set of storage units of the DSN, wherein the set of storage units further stores a plurality of sets of encoded data slices, wherein a data object is dispersed storage error encoded into the plurality of sets of encoded data slices; and a second memory that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the device, causes the device to; based on the access request for the at least one security alert encoded data slice; identify the requesting device as an unauthorized DSN device; and initiate a security response protocol within the DSN. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
