Abstract
Abstract
The paper presents a novel approach to securely store sensitive images within nuclear power stations. The suggested approach protects the secrecy, integrity, and availability of these crucial assets by integrating blockchain technology, Shamir’s secret sharing, erasure coding, and encryption. To improve data security and transaction validation, the design uses a decentralized network, smart contracts, and consensus processes. Erasure coding adds redundancy while sensitive photos are divided into hidden shares, encrypted, and disseminated strategically across hierarchical tiers. Resilience against data loss or compromise is ensured by this design. The research advances secure picture storage techniques in key infrastructures, fostering trust and dependability, by resolving security and privacy concerns through this novel technology.
