TOPIC: Evault for legal records (Digisheild)

1. Team Introduction + Description of problem statement

Presented by: Anish
Points to be covered:
a. Greet the judges and introduce the team
b. Briefly state the problem statement
c. Highlight the problems in centralized digital file-storage systems.
d. These problems include single point of failure, trust in central authority,
accessibility and scalability.
e. Cover these problems in detail. Roast DigiLocker in a professional way
f. Give queue to next person to start.
What can/may they speak:
Good afternoon, everyone. We are Team Binary Brigade, all from the CSE (Data Science)
department (Takes everybody’s name). Our challenge centers around cybersecurity and
blockchain, focusing on the creation of a blockchain-based eVault for legal records.
Currently, government agencies rely on systems like DigiLocker, secured by Aadhar
authentication, but these systems are vulnerable to unauthorized access. Furthermore, their
centralization poses a single point of failure, risking data loss or inaccessibility. Scalability
issues and restricted access also plague centralized systems, limiting global data accessibility.
Moreover, as the statistics dictate these central authorities can be easily corrupted. Our
solution? A decentralized blockchain-based eVault for legal records, which my colleague
Deepika will elaborate on shortly.

2. Introduce our idea:

Presented by: Deepika
Points to be covered:
a. Start with a one sentence that agrees with all the problems that previous presenter
presented.
b. Explain the benefits of using blockchain based system over current system.
c. These benefits include the decentralization, elimination of intermediaries and
data segmentation into public and sensitive files.
d. Speak about the existing method dealing with blockchain based file systems
which include web3 based IPFS (Interplanetary File System) services. Give
example of Infura.
e. Describe that in these web3 based IPFS only the hash of the file is stored on the
blockchain which is okay for public files and say we are also gonna use same for
public files storage.
f. But for sensitive government records and files we have come up with an
innovative blockchain based method.
g. If a file is sensitive then if it’s a pdf/docx or any written file we convert it into
raw HTML, minify it, encrypt it and store it as a string. This string is directly
 stored on the blockchain. Here we are not just storing the hash ID but
practically the entire file on blockchain. In order to regulate gas prices, we
are not doing this with public files. If it’s a jpeg file then its binary code is
stored by encrypting it. (Very very important point).
h. We also protect the data with CAPTHA verifications and biometrics for sensitive
files.
What can/may they speak:
Absolutely, as my colleague mentioned, the current systems indeed face numerous
vulnerabilities. Now, let's delve into the advantages of our blockchain-based solution. Firstly,
decentralization ensures robust security, eliminating single points of failure. It is immutable
and transparent. We segregate data into public and sensitive files. While web3-based IPFS
services, like Infura, store only file hashes on the blockchain, we're utilizing this for public
files. For sensitive government records, we've devised an innovative approach. For written
files (e.g., PDFs or DOCX), we convert them into raw HTML, minify, encrypt, and store
them as strings on the blockchain. So, we not just storing the hash ID but practically the entire
file on the blockchain. For JPEGs, we store encrypted binary code. We are not using this
approach for public files for regulating the gas prices. We enhance security further with
CAPTCHA verifications and biometrics for sensitive data. In summary, our blockchain-based
system offers enhanced security, data segregation, and innovative file storage techniques to
address the shortcomings of the current system. Now I would like my colleague Bodhisatya
and Ronak to describe the tech stack used and functionality of our software.

3. Tech Stack and Functionalities:

Presented by: Bodhisatya and Ronak
Points to be covered:
(Ronak)
Tech Stack:
1. Describe that in-order to demonstrate our idea we are making a web-app.
2. The web-app’s Frontend will be designed using React Js framework.
3. For storing public files, we are using Infura IPFS.
4. For converting sensitive files, I string and encrypting them we will be using
python i.e., Django Rest Framework
5. The blockchain will be an Ethereum blockchain hosted on alchemy using Sepolia
testnet using solidity contracts.
6. The authentication will also be decentralized.
7. Node Js might be used if email service is required
What can/may they speak:
Certainly, to showcase our concept effectively, we're developing a web application.
Our frontend is being crafted with the versatile React.js framework. When it comes to
storing public files securely, we've integrated Infura IPFS into our system. we employ
Python, specifically the Django Rest Framework, to convert, string, and encrypt them
for heightened security. Our blockchain backbone is Ethereum, hosted on Alchemy,
utilizing the Sepolia testnet. Solidity contracts power our decentralized infrastructure.
Node.js may come into play if we require an email service to complement our system.
 In this way, our tech stack is thoughtfully designed to ensure a seamless and secure
user experience. Now I would like Bodhisatya to describe the functionalities.
Points to be covered:
(Bodhisatya):
Functionalities:
1. Describe how React Js will provide user-friendly experience.
2. Describe how Django pipelining will help us achieve abstraction
3. Describe how hosting it on alchemy and Infura makes it scalable and ready to be
deployed and integrated with existing system
4. Describe how decentralized auth and biometrics will help us achieve more
security.
5. And describe the benefits of decentralization
What can/may they speak:
In our endeavor to create a secure and efficient legal records eVault, we've harnessed the
power of technology at every step. React.js forms the foundation of our user-friendly
interface, offering an engaging and responsive experience. Django's pipelining capabilities
provide abstraction, streamlining complex operations for increased efficiency. Hosting on
Alchemy and utilizing Infura ensures scalability and seamless integration with existing
systems. Decentralized authentication and biometrics bolster security, reducing vulnerabilities
and granting access only to authorized users. Beyond this, decentralization itself brings a host
of benefits: it minimizes single points of failure, enhances transparency, and fortifies data
security. In sum, our holistic approach combines technology and decentralization to create a
robust, user-centric, and secure legal records eVault. Gives queue to Aditya
