Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols for Parallel Network File Systems

Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols for Parallel Network File Systems Abstract We study the problem of key establishment for secure many-to-many communications.

Our work focuses on the current Internet standard for such file systems, i.e., parallelNetwork File System (pNFS), which makes use of Kerberos to establish parallel session keys between clients and storage devices.

Large-scale services running on IaaS platforms demonstrate the viability of this model; nevertheless, many […]
