Abstract

The interplanetary File system (IPFS) provides data communication using plaintext over distributed and decentralized systems. Up till now, the security of data has mostly been established using keys. To facilitate classified data communication within a Closed User Group (CUG), services of IPFS private swarm are required to render additional content encryption. Currently, there is no inherent security built into IPFS. This paper presents an application DMaya on IPFS to provide keyless encryption on IPFS based on the Quasigroup-based Secret Sharing Scheme (QSS). IPFS is used as a storage medium, irrespective of the nature of data. Data security in decentralized mode with IPFS is provided with DMaya. The classified data of all types (i.e. video data, audio data, text data, and image data) when subjected to DMaya application, are fragmented into smaller fragments then processed by the probabilistic Quasigroup-based Secret Sharing (QSS) Scheme. DMaya keyless encryption generates the metadata tag file at the source node. The recipient node within the same private IPFS swarm, on receipt of metadata tag file reconstructs the original data with DMaya application.
