<h1>Welcome to Tahoe-LAFS</h1> <h1>Welcome to Tahoe-LAFS</h1>
<p>Welcome to Tahoe-LAFS, the first cloud storage system with <cite>provider-independent security</cite>.</p> <p>Welcome to <a href="http://tahoe-lafs.org">Tahoe-LAFS</a>, the first decentralized storage system with <cite>provider-independent security</cite>.</p>
<h2>provider-independent security?</h2> <h2>provider-independent security?</h2>
<p>Every seller of cloud storage services will tell you that their service is "secure". But what they mean by that is something fundamentally different from what we mean. What they mean by "secure" is that after you've given them the power to read and modify your data, they try really hard to keep this power from being abused. This turns out to be difficult! Bugs, misconfigurations, or operator error can accidentally expose your data to another customer or to the public, or can corrupt your data. Criminals routinely gain illicit access to corporate servers. Even more insidious is the fact that the employees themselves sometimes violate customer privacy out of carelessness, avarice, or mere curiousity. The most conscientious of these service providers spend considerable effort and expense trying to mitigate these risks.</p> <p>Every seller of cloud storage services will tell you that their service is "secure".
