Claim Text:
1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises: creating a vault as a virtual memory block within memory of a dispersed storage network (DSN), wherein a segment of data is encoded into a set of encoded data slices that is stored in the vault; dividing the virtual memory block into a set of vault regions; for each vault region of the set of vault regions, determining vault parameters to produce a set of vault parameters, wherein first vault parameters includes a first decode threshold number of encoded data slices and a first total number of encoded data slices for encoding the segment of data and wherein second vault parameters includes a second decode threshold number of encoded data slices and a second total number of encoded data slices for encoding the segment of data; and facilitating data access to the vault in accordance with the set of vault parameters, wherein, within the vault, a first set of encoded data slices created in accordance with first vault parameters is accessible from a first vault region of the set of vault regions and a second set of encoded data slices created in accordance with the second vault parameters is accessible from a second vault region of the set of vault regions.
