Nice work, @ozan_yalcin1! Seems like you've been working hard to create something that everyone needs - a secure and private cloud storage and file sharing solution. I'm sure it will work wonderfully!
Wow, TransferChain on Web sounds like a game-changer for secure cloud storage and file sharing! I'm curious, how does the blockchain authorization work? Keep up the great work!
@dmytrosem Blockchain is used for the purpose of storing the metadata regarding the process management of the data stored and/or transferred by the data owner. All encrypted authentication and authorization activities and metadata are kept unaltered and indelible, maintaining a private, secure, and immutable network. TransferChain Blockchain operates on the SHA (2) 512 algorithm.
Managing processes such as data ownership, authentication, and authorization on a blockchain network helps TransferChain provide the highest security and privacy, beyond the capabilities of any centralized database.
Hi @naveed_rehman
Attaching docs to an email means you'll be utilizing the providers' servers (providers have access to your files), you might face man-in-the-middle attacks, or the recipient might not protect their email account properly so any phishing attack might bring out bigger problems.
There could also be multiple other reasons why you might prefer something else besides emailing attachments:
- The file you're sending out might be confidential/classified
- If it's a large-sized file
- If you're looking for better control (download limits, two-factor-auth, expiration)
TransferChain is the right way to go in all the cases mentioned above. But we also launched our Microsoft Outlook add-in, meaning you can even send transfer files within your Outlook interface along with your email (check it out > https://appsource.microsoft.com/...)
@mertbaser so if i zip the file with very long password crackable in 200 yrs via brute force, would that not be secure? also any case study where gmail or hotmail got middle man issues?
@naveed_rehman@brandon_yan Happy New Year, wishing you guys a prosperous new year!
Here is an actual MitM attack that happened before [https://www.securityweek.com/mit...].
Zipping your files with very long passwords would be a good way to start taking additional security measures, on the other hand, it might be a very time-consuming manual process for each of the files you upload.
Instead, you may use TransferChain for that scenario because our protocol encrypts (on your client-side), splits each file into pieces, and distributes each chunk to different data centers - and unlike the manual zipping process you've mentioned our protocol handles everything automatically within just seconds.
I'd definitely recommend you guys try it out if you haven't already :) Your feedback is very valuable to us.
