A computer program product and a system comprising: a cluster of Secure Execution Platforms (SEPs) having connectivity to a data storage, each SEP of said cluster is configured to maintain, using a key, confidentiality of data while processing thereof; the key is shared among the SEPs of said cluster, the key is automatically generated by the cluster or portion thereof and is unavailable to any non-cluster entity; the data storage retains encrypted data that is encrypted using the key; a first SEP of the cluster is configured to encrypt client data using the key to obtain encrypted client data and store the encrypted client data in the data storage; and a second SEP of the cluster is configured to retrieve encrypted stored data from the data storage, decrypt the encrypted stored data using the key to obtain non-encrypted form of the encrypted stored data.
A system comprising:
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium retaining instructions to be executed by a Secure Execution Platform (SEP) within a computerized environment, wherein the computerized environment comprising a cluster of SEPs having connectivity to a data storage, wherein the data storage retains encrypted data that is encrypted using a key, wherein the key is shared among the SEPs of the cluster, wherein the key is automatically generated by the cluster or portion thereof and is unavailable to any non-cluster entity, wherein the cluster comprises the SEP, wherein each SEP of said cluster is configured to maintain, using the key, confidentiality of data while processing thereof, wherein the instructions when executed by the SEP, cause the SEP to perform the steps of:
