Both client/server and distributed (Peer-to-Peer)\r\nmodels exist, with the latter (e.g., Git and Mercurial) becoming\r\nincreasingly popular. Their distributed nature introduces complications,\r\nespecially concerning security: it is hard to control the dissemination of\r\ncontents stored in distributed VCS as they rely on replication of complete\r\nrepositories to any involved user.\r\n\r\nWe overcome this issue by designing and implementing a concept for\r\ncryptography-enforced access control which is transparent to the user. Use\r\nof field-tested schemes (end-to-end encryption, digital signatures) allows\r\nfor strong security, while adoption of convergent encryption and\r\ncontent-defined chunking retains storage efficiency. The concept is\r\nseamlessly integrated into Mercurial---respecting its distributed storage\r\nconcept---to ensure practical usability and compatibility to existing\r\ndeployments."}]}]
