Better Storage
Better Storage System
Data storage systems should require innovative approaches to ensure security, reliability, and scalability.
A decentralized, quantum-safe storage architecture is essential to protect data from emerging threats while maintaining data integrity across multiple locations. By avoiding traditional replication methods, this approach minimizes the attack surface and enhances overall security.
The goal is to use a resilient storage infrastructure that is robust against data loss, corruption, and unauthorized access.
Requirements:
-
Decentralized Architecture: Data should be distributed across multiple independent locations to eliminate single points of failure and enhance security.
-
Quantum-Safe Security: Implement storage solutions that are resistant to quantum computing threats, ensuring long-term data protection.
-
No Data Replication: Avoid replicating data across multiple locations to reduce the potential attack surface and increase security.
-
Data Integrity: Ensure that the storage system can prevent data corruption and maintain the integrity of data across all storage nodes.
-
Secure Access: Access to stored data should be tightly controlled, with strong authentication and encryption mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Resilience and Redundancy: The storage system should be designed to prevent data loss, with redundancy measures that do not rely on traditional replication.
-
Scalability: The system must be able to scale effectively to handle increasing amounts of data without compromising performance or security.
-
Open and Transparent: Prefer solutions that are open-source or based on open standards, allowing for transparency, customization, and community-driven improvements.
