TITLE: 
     Efficient Byzantine-tolerant Erasure-coded Storage 
ABSTRACT: 
    In this talk, I describe a decentralized consistency protocol for 
    survivable storage that exploits local data versioning at each
    storage-node. The protocol efficiently provides strong consistency
    guarantees for reading and writing erasure-coded data in a Byzantine
    environment. Measurements of a prototype storage system based on the
    protocol demonstrate scalability in terms of the number of
    storage-node failures tolerated and excellent throughput.
