Secuity Considerations

In addition to end-to-end encryption protecting data between nodes, several other security measures are implemented to ensure the robustness of the system:

Key Management:

A secure key management system involves multi-party computation (MPC) to handle key gen- eration and decryption among multiple parties without revealing individual inputs.

Network Security

For software deployment, we will confirm network security by ensuring secure communication protocols such as TLS/SSL are used to protect data in transit. Additionally, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and potential security breaches.

Audit Trails

Comprehensive audit trails are maintained to track all data access and modifications, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the ability to detect and investigate unauthorized activities.

Data Redundancy and Backup

Redundant storage and regular backups are implemented to protect against data loss. This ensures that data can be recovered in the event of hardware failures, cyberattacks, or other disasters.

Regular Security Assessments

Periodic security assessments, including penetration testing and vulnerability scans, are con- ducted to identify and mitigate potential security risks. This proactive approach helps in main- taining a high level of security in the system. These comprehensive security considerations ensure that the decentralized storage sys- tem not only protects data at rest and in transit but also maintains its integrity, confidentiality, and availability against various threats.
