Abstract
Blockchain is considered as an advanced technology that is always having issue related to data security and privacy and is widely used in cloud as well as fog-based environment for high-performance applications. Blockchain technology is now extensively employed in business and social sectors so that overall integrity can be maintained with high security standards. These segments include the Internet in general, social networking, e-commerce, transportation, logistics, professional communications, and e-governance. Blockchain is a high-performance security-aware technology used in this segment with the secured file distribution in decentralized environment with secure digital ledger. The digital ledger is very transparent, and there is no scope of manipulation by agent. The digital records of all the transactions are time-stamped in the blockchain. Ledger and transactions are irreversible once completed. This research manuscript is having the focus on the integration of InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for the high-performance security and anonymity-based transactions with privacy. The IPFS protocol is the key technology and file system that is used in blockchain technology for the transmission of data via secured channels in which hacking or sniffing attempts can be avoided. The work integrates IPFS implementation with blockchain environment with demonstration toward the secured transmission.
