Utilizing a dispersed storage network access token module to access a dispersed storage network memory
First Claim
1. A method for accessing dispersed storage network (DSN) memory, the method comprises:
- retrieving, by a DSN access token module, one or more sets of at least a threshold number of dispersed storage (DS) error coding function slices from the DSN memory via a computing device;
decoding, by at least one of the computing device and the DSN access token module, the one or more sets of the at least a threshold number of DS error coding function slices using a default DS error coding function to recapture a DS error coding function;
generating, by the at least one of the computing device and the DSN access token module, a plurality of sets of data access requests in accordance with the DS error coding function; and
sending, by the computing device, the plurality of sets of data access requests to the DSN memory.

Abstract
A method includes a DSN access token module retrieving one or more sets of at least a threshold number of dispersed storage (DS) error coding function slices from the DSN memory via the computing device. The method continues with the computing device and/or the DSN access token module decoding the one or more sets of the at least a threshold number of DS error coding function slices using a default DS error coding function to recapture a DS error coding function. The method continues with the computing device and/or the DSN access token module generating a plurality of sets of data access requests in accordance with the DS error coding function. The method continues with the computing device sending the plurality of sets of data access requests to the DSN memory.
