TITLE:
Self-Securing Storage: Protecting Data in Compromised Systems
http://lcs.web.cmu.edu/research/S4/index.html

ABSTRACT:
Self-securing storage prevents intruders from undetectably tampering with or permanently deleting stored data. To accomplish this, self-securing storage devices internally audit all requests and keep old versions of data for a window of time, regardless of the commands received from potentially compromised host operating systems. In this talk, I will present a detailed description of self-securing storage and describe our implementation of a self-securing storage device, called S4.
