TITLE:
Self-Securing Storage: Protecting Data in
Compromised Systems
http://lcs.web.cmu.edu/research/S4/index.html
ABSTRACT:
Self-securing storage prevents intruders from undetectably tampering
with or permanently deleting stored data. To accomplish this,
self-securing storage devices internally audit all requests and keep
old versions of data for a window of time, regardless of the
commands received from potentially compromised host operating systems.
In this talk, I will present a detailed description of self-securing
storage and describe our implementation of a self-securing storage
device, called S4.
