This paper has three goals. (1) We try to debunk several held misconceptions about secure deletion: that encryption is an ideal solution for everybody, that existing data-overwrit...
We propose a framework for examining trust in the storage stack based on different levels of trustworthiness present across different channels of information flow. We focus on ...

New designs for petabyte-scale storage systems are now capable of transferring hundreds of gigabytes of data per second, but lack strong security. We propose a scalable and effici...
Backing up important data is crucial. A variety of causes can lead to data loss, such as disk failures, administration errors, virus infiltration, theft, and physical damage to e...

Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
Archival storage systems are designed for a write-once, read-maybe usage model which places an emphasis on the long-term preservation of their data contents. In contrast to tradit...
Batch-correlated failures result from the manifestation of a common defect in most, if not all, disk drives belonging to the same production batch. They are much less frequent tha...
