Data secure application: an application that allows developers to store user data securely using blockchain and IPFS

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of software applications has increased by end users, which is an issue regarding user data privacy. Numerous apps are collecting sensitive data like user location and phone number, which are becoming hotspots for cyber-attacks. A cyberattack breaches your data, attacking your information, thereby losing data integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Cyberattack refers to the unauthorized intrusion of external personnel into a user’s private digital space. We have proposed a solution to provide secure data storage in third-party applications and leverage the power of Blockchain and Interplanetary File Systems. The proposed approach offers reliable role-based access to control data storage service that maintains data integrity, availability, and confidentiality. The proposed model uses the aforementioned technologies because they provide a distributed and decentralized nature of data storage and add-on support to data immutability. Traditionally the technologies used for such services are centralized and provide a single point of attack for the attacker. It puts confidential user data in jeopardy. The proposed solutions store encrypted data distributed to reduce reliance on big tech giants for data storage support and uproot the fear of collapsing systems due to a single point of failure.
