FARSITE
Security • Cascading certificates system through directory hierarchy • Keys • Three types of certificates • CFS required to authorized certificate • Because directory groups only modify their shared state via a Byzantine-fault-tolerant protocol, we trust the group not to make
an incorrect update to directory metadata. This metadata includes an access control list (ACL) of public keys of all users
who are authorized writers to that directory and to files in it
• Both file content and user-sensitive metadata (meaning file and directory names) are encrypted for privacy.
System Architecture • Client Monitor, directory group, file host • When space runs out in directory group, delegate’s ownership to sub tree to other delegate group.
OCEANSTORE
Security • GUID and ACLs used for write, encryption used for reads. • To prevent unauthorized reads, it encrypts
all data in the system that is not completely public and distributes the encryption key to those users with read permission
