> A proof of replicated storage guarantees that, unless the server is indeed reserving the space necessary to store the n
n
copies of the file, the user will not accept the proof.
> While some candidate proofs of replicated storage have already been proposed, their soundness relies on timing assumptions i.e., the user must reject the proof if the prover does not reply within a certain time-bound.
> In this paper we provide the first construction of a proof of replication which does not rely on any timing assumptions.
