ABSTRACT:
A method for guaranteeing freshness of results for queries against a non-secure data store extends a write operation to include steps of: receiving a write instruction for application data to be written into a hierarchical tree structure; incrementing a timer responsive to receiving the write instruction; setting a timestamp to the value of the timer; computing a message authentication code based on the received application data and the timestamp; appending control information to the application data and its corresponding check item; the control information including the timestamp, a link to a check entry, and the message authentication code; writing the application data with the appended control information to the data store as a primary item; and updating the control information for each check item associated with the primary item along a path from the primary item to a root by following links.
