ABSTRACT :- This report is an analysis of the distributed file storage systems And about security
concern. More specifically this report presents the distributed storage mechanism linked with
blockchain
technology.

ABOUT SECURITY CONCERN

INTRODUCTION:-
Cloud security continues to raise concerns as new security
applications (e.g., IoT clouds, healthcare clouds, etc) become
popular and new attack incidents (e.g., data breaches) emerge.
The root cause is that clients lack trust to the cloud as a third
party. The trust problem adversely affects cloud adoption rate in
emerging application domains. On the other hand, the
Blockchain technology has recently been adopted for supporting
the world’s first successful cryptocurrency, BitCoin ,
followed by many others, such as Ethereum , Litecoin,
etc. Through the cryptocurrency applications, the Blockchain
design has shown the great potential to behave as the first
practical trusted third-party
.

OVERVIEW:-
In this work, we propose to use Blockchain as a trusted third
party to harden the security of cloud storage, and to
defend forking attacks. Suppose the data stored on the cloud is
end-to-end encrypted. The attack surface is reduced to and
refocuses on the planes of key management and meta-data about
encrypted data.

 In our Blockchain-secured cloud storage, Blockchain is

involved in securing A1) a key directory and A2) an operational
log server. For A1), a public-key directory, as specified in the
key transparency scheme , helps manage user identities in
the cloud and is the foundation of establishing trust among users
for data-sharing applications.

ABOUT STORAGE SOLUTION

INTRODUCTION:-

As storage technologies evolve, many new schemes to store data are invented. Companies like
Dropbox, Drive, iCloud and other cloud services give the user the possibility to scale his storage
easily and pay for it. New ideas are emerging for distributed storage and this report talks about
those. The main idea behind this is that many people have some free storage space on their
computer drive and it could be useful to rent it out. More recently blockchain technology has enabled
easy incentivization for those distributed storage schemes

OVERVIEW:-

This is a distributed storage system, which enables users to sell and buy storage space. The idea is
to share the remaining free disk space and sell it for a market-given price. This storage can then be
bought to be used by anybody. This "metadisk" is backed by a blockchain for exchange and
incentivization of the proof of retrievability. this can be compared to Dropbox. The idea is to pay for a
certain amount of storage, which then can be used to store the users own data. this proposes a
client program, which can be used by users on their devices.

The Techniques we gonna use is :-

SHARDING
USER AUDIT
PROOF OF RETRIEVABILITY
KADEMLIA EXTENDED
REDUNDANCY

   6. Implementation (if any)

   7. Conclusions and Future Works : -

Generally, the idea of a distributed storage based on blockchain is very promising. The combination
of distributed storage and blockchain gives the unique chance to have a verification of the system
without any third party. Both systems studied in this report are in operational mode.This idea can be
implemented as a small project, but if applied globally, it can change the face of today’s cloud
storage. This concept can also be extended to your compute power and memory provided you have
an ultra-high-speed internet connection.
