Two-Level, Self-Verifying Data for Peer-to-Peer Storage

Abstract: First-generation peer-to-peer storage systems unnecessarilycouple the unit of client data access to the unit ofinfrastructure data management. Designs that require allpeers to operate on data at a fixed granularity lead to inefficienciessuch as high query load and high per-block storageoverheads. To provide variable granularity accessand support more efficient peer-to-peer storage systems,we introduce two-level naming of self-verifying data. Wedescribe how to implement two-level naming...
