'''Archistar''' is a software framework<ref>Loruenser, T., Happe, A., Slamanig, D. (2015). ARCHISTAR: Towards Secure and Robust Cloud Based Data Sharing. In 2015 IEEE 7th International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology and Science (CloudCom) (pp. 371–378). http://doi.org/10.1109/CloudCom.2015.71</ref> to build secure distributed storage systems for cloud usage on the basis of secure fragmentation and information dispersal. The Archistar framework combines methods from [Byzantine fault tolerance](/source/Byzantine_fault_tolerance), [secret sharing](/source/secret_sharing), and additional tools from cloud cryptography. 

A stated goal is to provide a base framework for further research into the topic. To achieve this, it focuses on readability and has used [open-source licenses](/source/open-source_software) (GPLv2 and LGPLv2) for all prototype code. For better readability, self-contained aspects are extracted into libraries, specifically one for secret sharing and one for the BFT state-machine.<ref>archistar-smc, GNU General Public License. https://github.com/archistar/archistar-smc</ref><ref>archistar-bft, GNU General Public License. https://github.com/archistar/archistar-bft</ref>

The first version of the Java implementations were developed in a research project funded by the Austrian [Ministry of Transport](/source/Ministry_of_Transport_(Austria)) and the current version{{As of?|date=February 2024}} is maintained and extended as part of the EU funded research project [PRISMACLOUD](/source/PRISMACLOUD).<ref>PRISMACLOUD, European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, GrantNo 644962. https://prismacloud.eu</ref>
