Network-aware Adaptive Secure Erasure Coding Distributed storage for wireless mesh networks Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-003 Topic Title: Network-aware Adaptive Secure Erasure Coding Distributed storage for wireless mesh networks Proposal No.: N121-003-1040 Firm: Easy Group LLC 4981 N. Irwindale Ave #200 Irwindale, California 91706 Contact: Matheos Kazantzidis Phone: (626) 470-3200 Web Site: http://www.easygroup.us Abstract: The Navy and Marine Air Ground Task Force C2 systems are interested in identifying a sound technical solution to facilitate distributed storage in wireless mesh networks. Easy Group LLC based on its combined expertise on practical wireless network implementation and distributed storage cutting edge research is proposing to develop a new technology, called Measurement-based Adaptive Secure Erasure Coding (MASEC) distributed storage implementation suitable for wireless mesh networks. The solution surrounds cutting-edge erasure coding algorithms with advanced solutions in many practical problems that arise and enhances them with network-aware file part distribution and transport, unix-like file access control that is enforced in all stages of network storage including transit, offloading functionality and maintenance of information assurance level in face of mobility. Benefits: The proposed research will result in an integrated highly secure, robust and efficient distributed storage system for wireless networks and as such it will benefit not only the Marine Air Ground Task Force C2 systems but all command and control systems as well as many commercial, government and other defense programs with wireless distributed storage for data-at-rest.
