iOBS3: an iSCSI-based Object Storage Security System
Huang Jianzhong, Changsheng M. Xie, Li Jun Xu · 2006
With the growing importance of data, networked storage of high performance and strong security has become a hotspot of research. Aiming at the goals, we designed an iSCSI-based object storage security system (iOBS3) adopting OSD command sets. First, incurring to the block I/O channel of iSCSI and the security method within OSD, iOBS3 can provide highspeed bandwidth of block I/O and access control capability of object I/O; second, iOBS3 enhanced its transfer security by adopting IPSec at IP layer or SSL above TCP layer; third, iOBS3 greatly improves the I/O speed using zero-copy TCP at initiator-side. The experimental results indicate iOBS3 can achieve high throughput, in the meantime guaranteeing security of transmission and storage
