This paper introduces a distributed data storage for mobile, wireless networks based on a peer-to-peer paradigm. The distributed storage provides support to create and share files under a write-once model, and ensures at the same time data confidentiality and dependability by encoding files in a Redundant Residue Number System. More specifically files are partitioned into records and each record in encoded separately as (h+r)-tuples of data residues using h+r moduli. In turn, the residues are distributed among the mobiles in the network. Dependability is ensured since data can be reconstructed in the presence of up to s < r residue erasures, combined with up to \left\lfloor {\frac{{r - s}}{2}} \right\rfloor corrupted residues, and data confidentiality is ensured since recovering the original information requires knowledge of the entire set of moduli.
