Restraining and repairing file system damage through file integrity control

摘要

Today, many security researches focus on survivable or intrusion-tolerant systems, which are not conceived to be invulnerable, but rather to be able to withstand the impact of an attack and continue providing critical services despite ongoing attacks. We join this fast-growing research community and use this article to present a solution of file integrity control which is able to detect unauthorized file system modifications as fast as possible and repair them in order to keep the system's integrity, availability and confidentiality.
