Abstract:
Data sharing is a crucial step in the research community to make the most of the prior effort. Platforms for sharing data currently in use rely on trustworthy third parties (TTP). Such systems lack immutability, security, transparency, and trust because of TTP’s involvement. In order to address these problems, the proposed system approaches an Interplanetary File System (IPFS)-based blockchain-based secure data sharing platform. The user uploads a data file to the IPFS server, which is subsequently split up into several secret shares. By carrying out the access responsibilities that the user has specified in the smart contract, the suggested scheme accomplishes security and access control. This scenario combines encryption, Ethereum blockchain technology, decentralized storage, and incentive systems. Solidity smart contracts are created and deployed on a local Ethereum test network in order to carry out the suggested scenario. Transparency, Security, Access control, Owner authenticity, and Data quality are all achieved by the suggested plan.
