1. A method for execution by a processing module of a storage device, the method comprises: receiving, from a requesting entity, an encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices, wherein a data segment is encoded using a dispersed storage error coding function to produce the set of encoded data slices, wherein the set of encoded data slices has associated therewith a set of integrity values, and wherein integrity information is generated from the set of integrity values; generating, by the processing module, an integrity value for the encoded data slice; obtaining, by the processing module, at least a portion of the integrity information from another storage device; generating, by the processing module, a comparative integrity value for the encoded data slice based on the at least a portion of the integrity information; and facilitating, by the processing module, storage of the encoded data slice in memory of the storage device when the integrity value compares favorably to the comparative integrity value.
