Title
Efficient Confidentiality for Network Coded Distributed Storage.
Abstract
Coding techniques have improved the performance of distributed cloud systems (DCS). On one hand, they increased the reliability while trading off storage and bandwidth costs, and on the other hand, they provide high download speeds of data without centralized protocols. The higher data rates and lower delays are achieved by increasing the redundancy stored in clouds with higher bandwidth, allowing them to send more information before running dry. However, storing much information in a small set of clouds can violate confidentiality of the data in the presence of an attacker that breaks into these clouds. In this paper, we propose a technique that uses light-weight secure network coding schemes to increase the download rates of DCS. We compare the secure network coding techniques in terms of delay and codecs throughput, and we show that in multi-cloud systems, it is possible to obtain gains of 379% over DCS with equally shared redundancy and 192% over SotA techniques that aim to maximize the data rates by distributing more redundancy to the clouds with highest bandwidth.
