US Patent 11755499 Locally-stored remote block data integrity

Systems and methods to securely store data in a remote storage (e.g., cloud storage or server). In one approach, a method includes: receiving, from a local device, data blocks to be stored; generating a hash from a hash of each data block; storing each respective hash (e.g., in a local or remote memory for later use); and writing the data blocks to remote storage. Data integrity is verified when each data block is read from the remote storage by generating a hash of the respective read data block, and comparing the generated hash to the respective stored hash.
