Design and Implementation of Hydra: A Platform for Survivable and Secure Storage Systems

这个项目的目标是设计、实现和原型一个可生存和安全的数据存储系统的通用平台。该平台将提供一套计算效率高的通用(n，k)方案的MDS编码器和解码器，以及一套基本的文件操作。该项目还将探索这种平台在基于存储的入侵检测、预防和恢复方面的几个应用。这样的平台可以在未来数据存储系统和数据分发网络的研究和开发中进行整合、修改、适配和扩展。这项研究将为构成国家网络安全基础的网络存储系统提供一个实用的关键构件。该项目是我们从相关项目中积累的各种理论成果和工具的系统实践延伸。本研究的更广泛影响包括多个方面：我们将在本项目中开发的工具和系统推广到相关研究社区，供广泛采用和适应；我们将积极将研究成果融入各项教育活动；该项目将为PI的其他相关NSF资助项目提供理论、工具和试验平台。

The goal of this project is to design, implement and prototype a general platform for survivable and secure data storage systems. The platform will provide a set of computation efficient MDS encoders and decoders for general (n,k) schemes, as well as a suite of basic file operations. This project will also explore a few applications of such a platform for storage-based intrusion detection, prevention and restoration. Such a platform can be incorporated, modified, adapted and extended in future research and development of data storage systems and data distribution networks. The proposed research will provide a practical key building block to networked storage systems that form the basis of national cyber security.This project is a system practice extension from various theoretical results and tools we have accumulated from related projects.The broader impact of this research includes multiple aspects: we will disseminate tools and systems developed in this project to related research communities for wide adoption and adaptation; we will actively incorporate research results into various educational activities; and this project will both make use and provide theory, tools and testbed to the PI's other related NSF-sponsored projects.
