Research and Design of a Trusted Distributed File System Based on HDFS
Fa Gui Liu, Xiao Jie Zhang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
Distributed file systems such as HDFS are facing the threat of Advanced Persistent Threat, APT. Although security mechanisms such as Kerberos and ACL are implemented in distributed file systems, most of them are not sufficient to solve the threats caused by APT. With the observation into traits of APT, we propose a trusted distributed file system based on HDFS, which guarantees another further security facing APT compared to the current security mechanism.
