Design and implementation of autonomous distributed secret sharing storage system

Abstract

For mission-critical and safe-critical operations of medical information, financial, or administrative systems, a reliable and robust storage system is indispensable. The main purpose of our research is to develop a high-confidential, reliable, and survivable storage system. So far, we've designed agents that provide five basic operations, e.g., store, retrieve, update, refer and delete. In this paper, we propose an automatic repair mechanism for this system. This repair mechanism makes the storage system more reliable. We will report an implementation of this autonomous distributed storage system, and evaluate the behavior of agents for basic operations and automatic repair mechanism by computational simulation.
