CC* Integration-Large: Prototyping a Secure Distributed Storage Infrastructure for Accelerating Big Science

大型科学界经常发布和共享大量数据。对已发布数据的可扩展、可恢复、可互操作和可控制的访问对于支持数据密集型科学和工程研究至关重要。为了促进科学数据的发布和访问，该项目旨在创建一个安全、有弹性和分布式的数据存储框架Hydra，使科学社区能够构建一个可能由多个管理实体拥有的数据存储库的松散联盟。通过采取以数据为中心的方法并利用命名数据网络(NDN)原语，Hydra提供了一个通用软件框架，允许科学家通过以数据为中心的安全性、自动访问控制和自动数据复制轻松发布数据集。它还便于访问在Hydra上发布的数据以及其他现有的数据存储库。项目团队的目标是使用NSF的Fabric试验台测试Hydra，并利用其内置的日志记录功能来验证和验证其可用性、可扩展性和安全性。Hydra支持安全且可扩展的数据访问，以缓解大量科学社区目前面临的发布、数据访问和安全问题。九头蛇有潜力通过简化数据发布、内置数据真实性和访问控制、提高可用性和减少网络流量来造福于气候、气象学、天体物理学、地质学等科学团体。该项目的公开网站是https://hydra-repo.io.该网站维护指向各种存储库的指针，这些存储库包含最新的代码库、用户文档、hyda-repo操作数据日志和出版物。该网站将在项目持续时间后至少三年开放。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Big science communities routinely publish and share vast amounts of data. Scalable, resilient, interoperable and controllable access to published data is essential to support data ­intensive science and engineering research. To facilitate scientific data publication and accessibility, this project aims to create a secure, resilient, and distributed data storage framework, Hydra, that enables scientific communities to build a loose federation of data repositories potentially owned by multiple administrative entities.By taking a data-centric approach and leveraging the Named Data Networking (NDN) primitives, Hydra provides a generic software framework that allows scientists to publish datasets easily with data-centric security, automated access control, and automated data replication. It also facilitates access to data published on Hydra as well as other existing data repositories. The project team aims to test Hydra using NSF's FABRIC testbed and utilize its built-in logging capability to verify and validate its usability, scalability, and security.Hydra enables secure and scalable data access to alleviate the publication, data access, and security problems currently faced by a large number of scientific communities. Hydra has the potential to benefit scientific communities such as climate, meteorology, astrophysics, geology, and more through streamlined data publication, built-in data authenticity and access control, improved availability, and reduced network traffic.The publicly available website for this project is https://hydra-repo.io. This website maintains pointers to various repositories that host up-to-date codebase, user documentation, hydra-repo operational data logs, and publications. This website will be available at least three years beyond the project's duration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
