Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

, whereas the individual whose vision is clouded by illusion is regarded as vulnerable to, if not already a victim of, mental illness. Despite its plausibility, this viewpoint is increasingly difficult to maintain (cf. Lazarus, 1983). A substantial amount of research testifies to the prevalence of illusion

Secure Multi-Cloud Storage Using Elastic Scattered Storage and Scalable Auditing

by Durairaj Moorthy, Rasekar C
"... Abstract — Cloud storage facilitates users to store data remotely and benefits enterprise network or organization by minimizing the complexity of local hardware and software management. Despite the understandable on-demands, an infrastructure based services exposes user physical possession of outsou ..."

scoring coded data. ESSSA method supports reliable user access to cloud storage with better quality communication and reduced computation cost. The auditing outcome not only guarantees robust cloud storage accuracy assurance, but at the same time achieves quick data fault localization through detection

Hail: A high-availability and integrity layer for cloud storage,” in

by Kevin D Bowers , Ari Juels , Alina Oprea - Proc. Of CCS’09, , 2009
"... ABSTRACT We introduce HAIL (High-Availability and Integrity Layer), a distributed cryptographic system that allows a set of servers to prove to a client that a stored file is intact and retrievable. HAIL strengthens, formally unifies, and streamlines distinct approaches from the cryptographic and d ..."

and distributed-systems communities. Proofs in HAIL are efficiently computable by servers and highly compact-typically tens or hundreds of bytes, irrespective of file size. HAIL cryptographically verifies and reactively reallocates file shares. It is robust against an active, mobile adversary, i.e., one that may

MoteTrack: A Robust, Decentralized Approach to RF-Based Location Tracking

by Konrad Lorincz, Matt Welsh , 2005
"... Abstract. In this paper, we present a robust, decentralized approach to RF-based location tracking. Our system, called MoteTrack, is based on low-power radio transceivers coupled with a modest amount of computation and storage capabilities. MoteTrack does not rely upon any back-end server or network ..."

Secure Cloud Storage with Controlled Data Access, Assured Deletion and Data Forwarding

by unknown authors
"... Abstract- A cloud storage system, consisting of a collection of storage servers, provides long-term storage services over the Internet. Storing data in a third party’s cloud system causes serious concern over data confidentiality and to reduce data management costs. However, we must provide security ..."

security guarantees for the outsourced data. We design and implement a secure cloud storage system that achieves fine-grained, policybased access control file assured deletion and secure data forwarding to specified users. It associates outsourced files with file access policies, assuredly deletes files

Security of Data Storage in Cloud Computing

by Tania Gaur, Nisha Kharb
"... With the advent of Information Technology in day-to-day activities, the need for online services such as storage space, software, platforms etc. is increasing rapidly. This lead to the rise of a new concept, the Cloud Computing. The Internet users rely heavily on the Cloud Computing for various comp ..."

Providers. The Cloud Providers assures the consumer of the Cloud that the data stored on their servers is safe. The consumer plays no role in securing the data. The various cloud providers claim that they provide highly secure cloud storage. But there have been attacks on hot-shot cloud providing companies

Robust and Flexible Power-Proportional Storage

by Hrishikesh Amur, James Cipar, Varun Gupta, Gregory R. Ganger, Michael A. Kozuch, Karsten Schwan
"... Power-proportional cluster-based storage is an important component of an overall cloud computing infrastructure. With it, substantial subsets of nodes in the storage cluster can be turned off to save power during periods of low utilization. Rabbit is a distributed file system that arranges its data- ..."
