[Pasig-discuss] Long-Term Preservation and Encryption / POTSHARDS

[Jonathan.Tilbury at preservica.com]

Thorsten,

Preservica Cloud Edition includes the option of Encryption At Rest for all digital objects and this is now being used for confidential information. This uses the AWS native encryption, but further options are possible in the future. 

Of course whether encryption is a good idea for long term preservation is a whole new discussion.

Hi Thorsten



You might want to chat with the folks at Benetech, who are behind the Martus project, if you haven't already. 




Cheers,

Yvonne

Dear Archivers, 

I'm investigating in options to secure sensitive content in the public cloud. I'm looking for a good paper that shows all the issues when encrypting data for the long term. (Encryption algorythm weakening, migration, key loss, key management and migration, etc). I found some stuff with Google, but if someone has something really convincing, I appreciate a link. 

Second, I found POTSHARDS as a really interesting option. 
http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/pub/storer07-usenix.html 
It's some years ago, and I haven't found if it got picked up somewhere and developed any further. 
Did anyone deal with this solution, know of someone who does, or follows a similar approach? 

Contact to the fellows from UC Santa Cruz? 
That would be an interesting topic for a next PASIC! 


Freundliche Gruesse / Kind Regards
