Analysis of storage security models
At NCSA Storage security and survivability group, we explored various storage protection techniques. In particular, we looked into immutable storage systems, and also techniques for protection of storage.
Later, we also looked into the evolution of Storage as a Service, via storage service providers. Also, at a related project, we developed a threat model for storage systems, and performed a breach analysis of reported storage system attacks.
