The increasing size of valuable data emphasizes the importance of applying reliability in storage systems. One way to protect storage system failures is using erasure codes. The advantages of using erasure codes are their low overheads and high reliability. Soft errors caused by high-energetic particles do not only corrupt data in the SSD-based storage systems, but also in the erasure codes. In this regards, it is important to protect erasure code implementations against soft errors. This thesis proposes a fault-tolerant implementation of erasure codes. The proposed method is based on the structure of each erasure code. This method is analytically evaluated on four erasure codes, i.e....
