A technique efficiently transmits credentials between network elements and disk elements in a clustered storage system. According to the novel technique, in response to a user request to access data served by a data element, a network element inserts (adds) a credential associated with the user to a network element credential cache and creates a corresponding credential handle that indexes the credential in that cache. The network element relays the credential and credential handle to the disk element, which adds the credential to a corresponding disk element credential cache at a location indexed by the corresponding credential handle. Requests may then be sent between the elements using the credential handle. In addition, the network element may further send a series of chained requests to the disk element for the same credential / credential handle with an indication that the requests are for the same credential without sending the credential or credential handle.

Three-, and four-dimensional ("3-D" and "4-D") volume radiation memories store multiple binary bits of information-typically about five to ten and more typically eight such bits-in the same physical volumes on several different photochromic chemicals co-located in the volume. Each of the multiple photochromic chemicals is individually selectively written with an individually associated pair of radiation beams of an appropriate combined frequency-i.e., a "color"-and energy by a process of two-photon ("2-P") absorption. All the multiple information bits that are stored within all the photochromic chemicals in each addressable domain are read in common, and induced to simultaneously fluoresce, again by process of 2-P absorption. The fluorescence of each of different photochromic chemical in each addressed domain-which fluorescence is selective in accordance with the written state of each such photochromic chemical-is separated from, and is separately detected from, the fluorescence of all other photochromic chemicals because it is of a unique color, and is spatially steered to an associated detector array, normally a Charge Coupled Device (CCD), by a monochromator, normally a prism. Exemplary fluorescent photochromic chemicals are spirobenzopyran, rhodamine, cumarin and anthracene. Suitable groups of photochromic chemicals are formed from individual photochromic chemicals exhibiting narrow, sharp, separate spectra of absorption and of emission suitably distinct from each other, and where no chemical's fluorescent emission energy overlaps the absorption energies of any other chemicals.
