Query: Auditing for Distributed Storage Systems   Distributed storage codes have recently received a lot of attention in the
community. Independently, another body of work has proposed integrity checking
schemes for cloud storage, none of which, however, is customized for
coding-based storage or can efficiently support repair. In this work, we bridge
the gap between these two currently disconnected bodies of work. We propose
NC-Audit, a novel cryptography-based remote data integrity checking scheme,
designed specifically for network coding-based distributed storage systems.
NC-Audit combines, for the first time, the following desired properties: (i)
efficient checking of data integrity, (ii) efficient support for repairing
failed nodes, and (iii) protection against information leakage when checking is
performed by a third party. The key ingredient of the design of NC-Audit is a
novel combination of SpaceMac, a homomorphic message authentication code (MAC)
scheme for network coding, and NCrypt, a novel chosen-plaintext attack (CPA)
secure encryption scheme that is compatible with SpaceMac. Our evaluation of a
Java implementation of NC-Audit shows that an audit costs the storage node and
the auditor a modest amount computation time and lower bandwidth than prior
work.
