Techniques for non repudiation of storage in cloud or shared storage environments

摘要

Techniques for non-repudiation of storage in cloud or shared storage environments are provided. A unique signature is generated within a cloud or shared storage environment for each file of the storage tenant that accesses the cloud or shared storage environment. Each signature is stored as part of the file system and every time a file is accessed that signature is verified. When a file is updated, the signature is updated as well to reflect the file update.
