Zero Knowledge Proof Storage Architecture

The Quantum Safe Storage System implements zero knowledge proof principles in its architectural design. The system architecture consists of two distinct components: the physical storage nodes (ZDBs) that store data fragments and the ZStor (Zero Stor) Component that manages the distribution and retrieval processes.

Technical Implementation

The zero knowledge proof compliance is achieved through a verification mechanism where physical storage nodes (3Nodes) can cryptographically prove they store valid data fragments without having access to or knowledge of the complete data set.

The ZStor can validate the integrity of all storage devices by verifying they maintain valid fragments of the original information. This verification occurs without requiring the complete dataset to be reconstructed.

The storage nodes operate with zero knowledge of the original data content, as each node only contains mathematical representations (partial descriptions) of the original data. These fragments are mathematically insufficient to reconstruct the original data objects without access to multiple other fragments stored on independent nodes.

This architecture implements data privacy by design, as no single storage component has sufficient information to determine the nature or content of the stored data.
