Audit Storage

Storage architecture for secure audit log management

Audit Storage and Management

Storage Options

MCP-I supports multiple audit storage approaches:

  1. Centralized Logging: Traditional log aggregation systems
  2. Distributed Ledger: Blockchain-based immutable logs
  3. Secure Enclaves: Protected, tamper-resistant storage
  4. Hybrid Systems: Combining approaches for different log types

Log Integrity

To ensure log integrity, MCP-I recommends:

  1. Cryptographic Signing: Sign logs with a dedicated logging key
  2. Hash Chaining: Link records with cumulative hashes
  3. Merkle Trees: Efficient verification of log integrity
  4. Secure Timestamping: Third-party timestamp attestations

Access Control

Audit logs must be protected with proper access controls:
