Avocado: A Secure In-Memory Distributed Storage System

We introduce Avocado, a secure in-memory distributed storage system that provides strong security, fault-tolerance, consistency (linearizability) and performance for untrusted cloud environments. Avocado achieves these properties based on TEEs, which, however, are primarily designed for securing limited physical memory (enclave) within a single-node system. Avocado overcomes this limitation by extending the trust of a secure single-node enclave to the distributed environment over an untrusted network, while ensuring that replicas are kept consistent and fault-tolerant in a malicious environment. To achieve these goals, we design and implementAvocado underpinning on the cross-layer contributions involving the network stack, the replication protocol, scalable trust establishment, and memory management. Avocado is practical: In comparison to BFT, Avocado provides con dentiality with fewer replicas and is signi cantly faster—4.5× to 65× for YCSB read and write heavy workloads, respectively.
