Literature Review
R.no Paper Title Methodology
1 Enhancing the Security of the Combining Blockchain and IPFS to store files. Using only AES to encrypt file
Blockchain and the File Contents contents.
2 Secure Distributed Cloud Storage Using a Ethereum Blockchain to store & transfer files using smart contracts.
based on the Blockchain Using only RSA for encryption.
Technology and Smart Contracts
3 Decentralized File Storage Uses Blockchain and IPFS to transfer files. Only peer-to-peer transfer is possible .
(Interplanetary File System) using No groups or global space.
Blockchain
4 A Secure File Sharing System Based Uses a secure file sharing system that brings a distributed access control and group
on IPFS and Blockchain key management. No global space.
