ABSTRACT
We study formal security properties of network�attached
storage (NAS) in an applied pi calculus. We model NAS
as an implementation of a specification based on traditional
centralized storage. We show the correctness of the imple�
mentation by proving that it is fully abstract with respect
to the specification. Our result can be viewed as a strong
guarantee of security for a basic network�attached storage
design.
