Towards High Security and Fault Tolerant Dispersed Storage System with Optimized Information Dispersal Algorithm

Abstract

A Robust Data Storage System is one of the classes of fault tolerant systems. It is built around protocols that enable retrieval of data where only a subset of servers needs to be contacted. It enables efficient sharing and retrieval of data and the ability to scale to a number of servers as needed. A Robust Data Storage System basically comprises two main considerations. Firstly, integrity and consistency of data and secondly, security.
