Abstract
A system and method is provided for supporting integrity of distributed data storage with erasure coding. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to create a backup or archive of electronic data using erasure coding, contacting storage nodes and providing an incentive mechanism to incentivize each of the storage nodes to support the distributed data storage, receiving confirmation from at least some of the storage nodes indicating an agreement to store data, generating K data blocks and M parity blocks from the electronic data using erasure coding, and allocating the K data blocks and the M parity blocks to the storage nodes that have agreed to store data.
