BOOTING FROM AN ENCRYPTED ISO IMAGE

A device is provided in a data center that is connected to a cloud computing environment. The device receives unencrypted information, and divides the unencrypted information into multiple data chunks. The device also derives an encryption key for each data chunk, of the multiple data chunks, based on a master key, a chunk number associated with each data chunk, and a salt value. The device further encrypts each data chunk with a corresponding derived encryption key, combines the encrypted data chunks to create encrypted information, and provides the encrypted information to the cloud computing environment.
