Security in Distributed Storage Systems by Communicating a Logarithmic Number of Bits
Theodoros K. Dikaliotis ; Alexandros G. Dimakis ; Tracey Ho ;
Date 4 May 2010
AbstractWe investigate the problem of maintaining an encoded distributed storage system when some nodes contain adversarial errors. Using the error-correction capabilities that are built into the existing redundancy of the system, we propose a simple linear hashing scheme to detect errors in the storage nodes. Our main result is that for storing a data object of total size $size$ using an $(n,k)$ MDS code over a finite field $F_q$, up to $t_1=lfloor(n-k)/2 floor$ errors can be detected, with probability of failure smaller than $1/ size$, by communicating only $O(n(n-k)log size)$ bits to a trusted verifier. Our result constructs small projections of the data that preserve the errors with high probability and builds on a pseudorandom generator that fools linear functions. The transmission rate achieved by our scheme is asymptotically equal to the min-cut capacity between the source and any receiver.
