What is "archistar"

Archistar is a research project funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology. It is dedicated to the development of a secure distributed storage architecture for trustworthy cloud usage.

The Archistar framework combines methods from Byzantine fault tolerance, secure multi-party computation, and additional tools from cloud cryptography. A non-functional goal is to provide a base framework for further research into this topic: to achieve this, focus has been set on readability and open-source licenses have been used for all prototype code.

To achieve better readability self-contained aspects were extracted into libraries:

• 1 Secure multi-party computation repository on github
• 2 BFT state-machine repository on github
