Tahoe: A Robust Distributed Secure Filesystem

Brian Warner

Tahoe is a distributed application providing secure and robust storage of
files and directories. Data remains available despite massive failures of
individual servers. Tahoe is free software (see http://allmydata.org), and is
scalable from a few nodes (backing up data on your friend's machines) to a
thousand (running a large commercial backup service).




Tahoe runs on top of Twisted and Python, using the Foolscap library for
secure communications. It provides a RESTful web API to GET, PUT, and DELETE
your files. User-friendly front-ends are in development for Mac, Unix, and
Windows.
