FMSR-DIP is a proof-of-concept prototype aimed at providing data integrity protection atop today's cloud storage. Regenerating code is a recently proposed erasure code that requires less data to be downloaded when repairing node failures, compared to conventional codes such as the Reed-Solomon codes. Functional minimum storage regenerating (FMSR) code is a type of regenerating code that is also maximum distance separable. FMSR-DIP augments the FMSR code with a data checking capability that allows stored data to be sampled for checking in a flexible manner, without adding to its download traffic requirements during file downloads or repairs. In short, our work adds an efficient data integrity checking capability to FMSR code to provide a more comprehensive data protection solution, without eliminating the advantage of using FMSR code.
FMSR-DIP is built on the FMSR implementation in NCCloud.
FMSR-DIP uses the Jerasure library for coding implementation.
The work is supported by grants from the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong (AoE/E-02/08 and ECS CUHK419212) and seed grants from the CUHK MoE-Microsoft Key Laboratory of Human-centric Computing and Interface Technologies.
FMSR-DIP is developed by the Advanced Network and System Research Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
