The growing computational and storage needs of several scientific applications mandate the deployment of extreme-scale parallel machines, such as IBM’s Blue Gene/L which can acc...
This paper describes a system that supports high availability of data, until the data should be expunged, at which time it is impossible to recover the data. This design supports ...
In this paper, we define and explore proofs of retrievability (PORs). A POR scheme enables an archive or back-up service (prover) to produce a concise proof that a user (verifier...
