Secure Management of Networked Storage Services: Models and TechniquesSingh, Aameek 03 May 2007 (has links)
With continued advances in computing, the amount of digital data continues to grow at an astounding rate. This has strained enterprise infrastructures and triggered development of service oriented architectures. In recent years, storage has also begun its transformation into a class of service. By outsourcing storage to an external storage service provider (SSP), enterprises not only cut management cost but also obtain on-demand infrastructure with superior disaster recovery and content dissemination capabilities. Wide deployment of this new outsourced storage environment requires solutions to many challenging problems. The foremost is the development of usable security and access control mechanisms that provide desirable levels of data confidentiality without placing an inordinate amount of trust into the SSP. This absence of a trusted reference monitor is a fundamental departure from traditional mechanisms and new solutions are required. The second important challenge is the autonomic management of SSP's infrastructure, uniquely characterized by a highly dynamic workload with large data capacity requirements. This dissertation research proposes models and techniques to address these two challenges. First, we introduce a novel access control system called xACCESS that uses cryptographic access control primitives (CAPs) to "embed" access control into stored data. This eliminates any dependency on the SSP for enforcement of security policies. We also analyze the privacy characteristics of its data sharing mechanisms and propose enhancements for more secure and convenient data sharing. We also develop a secure multiuser search approach that permits hosting of secured search indices at untrusted SSPs. We introduce a novel access control barrel (ACB) primitive that embeds access control into indices to prevent unauthorized information extraction during search. Our contribution to the autonomic SSP storage management has two important highlights. First, we have developed an impact analysis engine that efficiently analyzes the impact of a client-initiated change (workload surge, storage growth) on the SSP storage area network with minimal administrator involvement. Second, we have designed a new algorithm to quickly perform reallocation of resources in order to efficiently integrate the client change.

SENSE: Combining Mashup and HSM technology by semantic means to improve usability and performanceHaun, Stefan, Krüger, Robert, Wehner, Peter 25 October 2013 (has links) (PDF)
The amount of data stored and consumed on a daily basis as well as the complexity of the data structure have grown rapidly in past years [1]. Especially business companies try to reduce the rising expenses from storage infrastructure as well as from re-implementation of user interfaces to adapt to evolving tasks.

SMI-S for the Storage Area Network (SAN) ManagementAltaf, Moaz January 2014 (has links)
The storage vendors have their own standards for the management of their storage resources but it creates interoperability issues on different storage products. With the recent advent of the new protocol named Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S), the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has taken a major step in order to make the storage management more effective and organized. SMI-S has replaced its predecessor Storage Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and it has been categorized as an ISO standard. The main objective of the SMI-S is to provide interoperability management of the heterogeneous storage vendor systems by unifying the Storage Area Network (SAN) management, hence making the dreams of the network managers come true. SMI-S is a guide to build systems using modules that ‘plug’ together. SMI-S compliant storage modules that use CIM ‘language’ and adhere to CIM schema interoperate in a system regardless of which vendor built them. SMI-S is object-oriented, any physical or abstract storage-related elements can be defined as a CIM object. SMI-S can unify the SAN management systems and it works well with the heterogeneous storage environment. SMI-S has offered a cross-platform, cross-vendor storage resource management. This thesis work discusses the use of SMI-S at Compuverde which is a storage solution provider, located in the heart of the Karlskrona, the southeastern part of Sweden. Compuverde was founded by Stefan Bernbo in Karlskrona,Sweden. Just like all others leading storage providers, Compuverde has also decided to deploy the Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S) to manage their Storage Area Network (SAN) and to achieve interoperability. This work was done to help Compuverde to deploy the SMI-S protocol for the management of the Storage Area Network (SAN) which, among many of its features, would create alerts/traps in case of a disk failure in the SAN. In this way, they would be able to keep the data of their clients, safe and secure and keep their reputation for being reliable in the storage industry. Since Compuverde regularly use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft have started to support SMI-S for storage provisioning in System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), this work was done using the SCVMM 2012 and the Windows Server 2012.The SMI-S provider which was used for this work was QNAP TS- 469 Pro. / 0764354242

How Often do Experts Make Mistakes?Palix, Nicolas, Lawall, Julia L., Thomas, Gaël, Muller, Gilles January 2010 (has links)
Large open-source software projects involve developers with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Such software projects furthermore include many internal APIs that developers must understand and use properly. According to the intended purpose of these APIs, they are more or less frequently used, and used by developers with more or less expertise. In this paper, we study the impact of usage patterns and developer expertise on the rate of defects occurring in the use of internal APIs. For this preliminary study, we focus on memory management APIs in the Linux kernel, as the use of these has been shown to be highly error prone in previous work. We study defect rates and developer expertise, to consider e.g., whether widely used APIs are more defect prone because they are used by less experienced developers, or whether defects in widely used APIs are more likely to be fixed.

Malleability, obliviousness and aspects for broadcast service attachmentHarrison, William January 2010 (has links)
An important characteristic of Service-Oriented Architectures is that clients do not depend on the service implementation's internal assignment of methods to objects. It is perhaps the most important technical characteristic that differentiates them from more common object-oriented solutions. This characteristic makes clients and services malleable, allowing them to be rearranged at run-time as circumstances change. That improvement in malleability is impaired by requiring clients to direct service requests to particular services. Ideally, the clients are totally oblivious to the service structure, as they are to aspect structure in aspect-oriented software. Removing knowledge of a method implementation's location, whether in object or service, requires re-defining the boundary line between programming language and middleware, making clearer specification of dependence on protocols, and bringing the transaction-like concept of failure scopes into language semantics as well. This paper explores consequences and advantages of a transition from object-request brokering to service-request brokering, including the potential to improve our ability to write more parallel software.

AspectKE*: Security aspects with program analysis for distributed systemsFan, Yang, Masuhara, Hidehiko, Aotani, Tomoyuki, Nielson, Flemming, Nielson, Hanne Riis January 2010 (has links)
Enforcing security policies to distributed systems is difficult, in particular, when a system contains untrusted components. We designed AspectKE*, a distributed AOP language based on a tuple space, to tackle this issue. In AspectKE*, aspects can enforce access control policies that depend on future behavior of running processes. One of the key language features is the predicates and functions that extract results of static program analysis, which are useful for defining security aspects that have to know about future behavior of a program. AspectKE* also provides a novel variable binding mechanism for pointcuts, so that pointcuts can uniformly specify join points based on both static and dynamic information about the program. Our implementation strategy performs fundamental static analysis at load-time, so as to retain runtime overheads minimal. We implemented a compiler for AspectKE*, and demonstrate usefulness of AspectKE* through a security aspect for a distributed chat system.
