Authenticated Storage Framework

Definition

An Authenticated Storage Framework provides mechanisms to verify the integrity and origin of stored data. This framework employs cryptographic proofs and verifiable data structures to confirm that information remains unaltered and originates from a trusted source. It is crucial for maintaining data veracity within decentralized applications and blockchain environments, where reliance on central authorities is absent. Such systems ensure that data retrieved is exactly what was initially recorded, preventing tampering or unauthorized modifications.
