The amount of digital data that requires long-term protection
of integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality protection is steadily
increasing. Examples are health records and genomic data which may have
to be kept and protected for 100 years and more. However, current
security technology does not provide such protection which I consider a
major challenge. In this talk I report about a storage system that
achieves the above protection goals in the long-term. It is based on
information theoretic secure cryptography (both classical and quantum)
as well as on chains of committments. I discuss its security and present
a proof-of-concept implementation including an experimental analysis.
