"Encryption key rotation using dataset size and predicted threshold time based on data ingest rates" was invented by Mahadev Karadigudda (San Jose, Calif.), Madhu Agrahara Gopalakrishna (Fremont, Calif.) and Sankalp Suhas Taralekar (Santa Clara, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Rotating encryption keys in a size-based process using data ingestion rates to predict when a threshold size to trigger key rotation will be reached such that an equal amount of data is encrypted by different encryption keys. A machine learning (ML) model is trained based on his...
