SRSS
Secure and Reliable Storage System
Duration: 1 /or 2
semesters
Number of students: 1 or 2
students ( 1 student 2 semesters or 2 students 1 semester)
Brief
Description:
A given file(s)
will be divided into N shares. Each share is stored
in a different computer. When the file(s) are needed, it should be
possible to get it back from any M computers
(M < N). It’s secure because at least M shares are needed to
rebuild the original. And it’s reliable because it can tolerate the loss
of up to N-M shares.
Prerequisites:
network programming (for
shares distribution part)
Deliverables:
1) A program that will
take a file and number N of shares as input and produce N shares that
satisfy the sharing requirements.
2)
A program that will take N shares and store them in N
different computers.
3)
A program that collect upon request the shares from M computers to rebuild
the file.
4)
A working prototype that integrates the 3 programs together.
5)
A final report including manuals, test reports, bugs fixes, and future
recommendations.
