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

[Jacob Farmer]

The Postshards folks attempted to build a commercial product, but they were
unsuccessful attracting funding and have all since gone on to do great
things in industry.  Ethan Cohen was their professor / advisor.  He is at
UC Santa Cruz and is one of the great thought leaders in data storage
technologies.

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.

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
