Design of Data Sharing Platform Based on Blockchain and IPFS Technology

Abstract

With the continuous development of the information age, data sharing and exchange are gradually increasing. The Internet and big data technology provide a guarantee for data sharing and transmission. At present, as the amount of data increases rapidly, how to realize data sharing has become a huge challenge. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a data sharing platform based on the combination of blockchain and interplanetary file system (IPFS) technology to solve the data sharing and storage. Firstly, by constructing the alliance blockchain, the consensus mechanism of computing power competition is used to maintain the data written into the blockchain, and the IPFS data storage system is established to store data using distributed storage, file splitting, and splicing technologies. Secondly, a data sharing platform composed of blockchain module, IPFS module, encryption and decryption module, and fast retrieval module is built. Data encryption is processed by encryption and decryption module, and the processed data is uploaded to THE IPFS module; the abstract and other information are finally written into the blockchain through the blockchain module. The fast retrieval module can quickly locate the required data according to the retrieval conditions in the mass blockchain data; finally, the security and storage of data sharing platform are guaranteed through security and performance evaluation. The research results solve the problem of large amount of data sharing, realize the data decentralization, and ensure the data storage security.
