Distributed storage systems are becoming more and more popular with the rapidly increasing demand for large-scale data storage. To increase the capacity and I/O performance of a distributed storage system, scaling it up is a common method. Regenerating Codes are a class of distributed storage codes that offer good reliability through encoding and provide good bandwidth cost on failed nodes repa...

As an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have attained great attention due to their sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly characteristic. However, as a deficiency, renewable energy sources have low reliability because of their non-deterministic and stochastic generation pattern. The use of hybrid renewable generation systems along with the storag...

In coding-based distributed storage systems (DSSs), a set of nodes (SNs) hold coded fragments data unit that collectively allow one to recover the original information. It is well known modification (a.k.a. pollution attack) Achilles’ heel such coding systems; indeed, intentional single fragment has potential prevent reconstruction information because error propagation induced by decoding algor...

Video surveillance systems are critical infrastructures and that growing in size complexity. Storage space is the prime resource such but current setups centralized limited resources due to security cost constraints. Allocating correct amount of storage each camera considering their large differences characteristics video content challenging. In this paper we propose a game theoretic approach a...

There is a growing demand for large-scale distributed storage systems to support resource sharing and fault tolerance. Although heterogeneity issues of distributed systems have been widely investigated, little attention has been given to security solutions designed for distributed storage systems with heterogeneous vulnerabilities. To address this issue, we design a Secure Fragment Allocation S...
