Title of the Presentation (Abstract)

A layered approach to securing network file systems

Abstract (Abstract should not be more than 250 words)
File systems protect important data, but it needs to be more secured for todays needs. We can develop a highly secure & efficient file system, using an incremental layered approach with a focus on network-based file systems. The main technique used is called STACKING- a method for one file system to pass through the operations & data to one or more other file systems. With stacking, it is possible to intercept file system operations & control them as needed. Examples of file system that are being developed include strong transparent encryption, transparent checksumming of integrity, virus detection, load balancing, hooks for intrusion detection systems(IDSs),& more. Stackable file systems placement is investigated or three different locations along the data path.(1)on clients, offering end to end assurance,(2)on servers, enabling powerful IDS capabilities and (3)on intermediate proxies, transparently controlling file servers with minimal site impact. The significance of this entire system is that it creats OS infrastructure that allows to build highly secure & efficient file systems easily.

Comments
Several working file systems & enhancements are investigated for general OS support for secure file systems. This technique will usher a new era of secure file system development.
