Every object WOS stores passes through an algorithm that generates a unique signature which is stored with the object. When reading objects, WOS checks this signature to make sure the file has not become corrupted. If WOS detects corruption, it will retrieve a replica of the object from elsewhere in the Cloud for delivery to the user. This replica will be used to repair or replace the corrupted copy of the object.
