Secure Server Storage Based IPFS through Multi-Authentication

The InterPlanetary File System is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting all computing devices. The distributed system would allow data users to upload and locate their content to the IPFS blockchain network as well as sharing it peer-to-peer resulting in high-speed content loading or bandwidth relying on the network and data usage either user want to upload or download through IPFS based application. Each content uploaded to the IPFS would be unique and identified based on the content identity (CID) that would be assigned once the file is uploaded. The paper also discusses the usage of centralized and decentralized storage system as well as secure and practical storage management. The paper also indicates that the traditional storage management do not guarantee the possibility of data loss or data redundancy. Therefore, multi-authentication toward IPFS based storage would be implemented for data user to locate their data on IPFS blockchain.
