We do not address the issue of traffic analysis in this paper; that is, we
do not make any explicit attempt to obfuscate users' access
patterns. However, Plutus does support options to encrypt filenames, and
encrypts all I/O requests to the server. Recently SUNDR [32]
introduced the notion of a rollback attack, wherein an untrusted server
tricks a user into accepting version-wise inconsistent or stale data
relative to other users. We defer the discussion of rollback protection to
a future work [15].
