Abstract

A reliably safe storage system is provided which makes provable the status of a file stored in a storage server at a time specified by a user and creates evidence information that will be effective in future. In response to a file status fixing request from the user over a network, a storage server generates file fixing guarantee data, including data publicized by a publication server, and saves the generated data with the file associated with the generated data.
