The Self-Certifying File System

The Self-Certifying File System separates key management from file system security. SFS file names effectively contain public keys, making them self-certifying pathnames. Applications of SFS and its read-only dialect include a secure replacement for NFS, online certification authorities, and secure software distribution. SFS works on UNIX operating systems that implement NFS3 correctly. See http://www.fs.net/ for more information.
