Fast and Secure Distributed Read-Only File System

摘要

Internet users increasingly rely on publicly available data for every thing from software installation to investment decisions. Unfortunately, the vast majority of public content on the Internet comes with no integrity or authenticity guarantees. This paper presents the self-certifying real-only file system, a content distribution system providing secure, scalable access to public, read-only data. The read-only file system makes the security of published content independent from that of the Distribution infrastructure.
