Secure File Transfer Using Blockchain Technology  
  Authors : Trupti Kulkarni; Vandana Nemane; Madhuri Darekar; Jyoti Bachhav

 

Growth in blockchain technology has been witnessed through the event of bitcoins and another necessary application that involves the idea of distributed cloud storage. A more practical employment would be to alter file sharing through the idea of Blockchain. This might facilitate in reducing the 2 step method of uploading a file to the drive and downloading it from a similar to one step method of simply transferring it from a sender to a receiver during a Blockchain network. Even if there square measure many applications which offer file sharing, it cannot match the one that's supported Blockchain technology in terms of security. Our focus is to alter a secured file sharing application by employing a personal Blockchain network so it will be used at intervals tiny organizations. A larger level of security is achieved by applying some important algorithms from the world of cryptography to powerfully encode the file thereby ensuring that none aside from the receiver will gain access to the file

Since this concept is open source, we have implemented it using PHP and Java. It can also be integrated into an android environment and developed into an Android app. The only problem with deployment in Android smartphone is memory handling.. Mobile does not have a large memory to create and handle 'n' number of blocks. It is very challenging and if it is implemented in the future, it will create a new revolution in android. Also this Blockchain concept can be integrated into various banking transactions to make them more secure and anonymous. Since the file is split and encoded with hex encoding, this could also create a possibility for compressing huge volumes of data into smaller sizes to further enhance the performance of file transfer in future.
