Generating a trusted rebuilt appended encoded data slice
Abstract
A method for execution by one or more computing devices includes generating current slice integrity check value information for a rebuilt appended encoded data slice of a set of appended encoded data slices stored in a set of storage units of the storage network, where an appended encoded data slice of the set of appended encoded data slices includes an encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices and slice integrity check value information for the encoded data slice. The method further includes determining the current slice integrity check value information compares favorably to the slice integrity check value information to produce a trusted rebuilt appended encoded data slice. When the current slice integrity check value information compares favorably to the slice integrity check value information, the method further includes storing the rebuilt appended encoded data slice as the trusted rebuilt appended encoded data slice.
