Project Summary A device that distributes backups
across several USB drives Maintains consistency as long as
the backups are conflict free Distributes backups to devices
interfaced across a network Requires minimal user input
Team Wolf 4
Secure Application (k, n) threshold scheme Requires a subset, k, of a set, n, to recover data With fewer than k pieces, no information about the data can
be recovered
Team Wolf 5
Project Design Implementation Parts to be implemented
• Custom Software• Network Interface• PC interface
Rest provided by Atom development board
Team Wolf 6
Custom Software Sending hub
• Save listing of checksum, timestamps, and folder paths at one time• Save listing at a later time and “diff” the two records• Process changes and send to other hubs
Receiving hub• Record the “USB Network” from the received update• Iterate through each USB to check if they belong to the USB Network• Distribute updates
Team Wolf 7
Network Interface TCP/IP socket connection over a LAN
• Unsecure
Client/server model• Server – wait for connection from client with update messages• Client – connect to server, send update messages, then disconnect
Team Wolf 8
PC Interface Hub should appear as a USB mass storage device
• Hub must act as a USB device (slave) to PC (master)
Developing this interface has been a significant challenge• USB protocol deliberately very uneven
− Most of the software and hardware located on host side− Not meant for PC to PC (host to host) data transfer
• Atom development board only contains USB host ports− Would require additional hardware and drivers
Team Wolf 9
PC Interface Solutions Bridge cable
• Cable with USB A at each end• Embedded system in-between• Enables PC to PC file transfer
I2C USB slave adapter• Philips ISP1301 USB OTG• Would allow the Atom to interface with USB physical layer• Requires additional hardware and overhead
Different embedded system• Beagle Board
Team Wolf 10
Beagle Board Low power, low cost system on chip Slight reduction in performance vs Atom
• ARM ® Cortex TM -A8 MHz at 1 GHz• 512MB of low-power DDR RAM
Tiny 3.25" × 3.25" footprint 4 USB hosts and 1 USB OTG 2.0 port
• OTG port allows board to act as USB device• Would handle same number of USB drives as atom board• $149.99 price point
Team Wolf 11
Proposed MDR Deliverables 2 hubs based on Advantech Intel Atom board Initialize and authenticate hubs to each other
− Authenticate USBs to hub-network
Detect and distribute updates

Proposed CDR Deliverables PC interface
• Hub will appear to user’s PC as single USB Mass Storage Device
Secure socket connections User interface for initializing and configuring the system
• User should be able to use web browser to access interface
Physical user interaction with hub• Buttons to initiate sync and ejections• LEDs to indicate sync in progress and when its ok to eject
