Avoiding Data Piracy in Artworks using Blockchain

With the tremendous development of internet, we can share any media from anywhere in the world. This paved the way for data sharing illegally - pirated versions of data shared among persons. In our proposed system, the original data use case taken - Song will be embedded with a hash value SHA 256 and then deployed to Inter Planetary File System IPFS and shared through Ethereum Blockchain, enabling deployed data unaltered. The IPFS returns a 46 bit length hash for each of the file being upload. Usage of Ethereum blockchain ensures each and every transaction cryptographically hashed and logged. Also, the data deployed on IPFS sharable but with hidden hash identity for each of it, which is not known by the person who gets that data. The owner of the original data thus shares the data and will be having the log maintaining hash identity for each of the person to whom the data owner shares. The IPFS storage enables Peer to Peer P2P data transfer through decentralized network. The person will be given the IPFS hash to download the data. When the data if pirated is known to the owner, he computes the hash value from the pirated version and identifies the person pirated that data and avoids sharing data to that person next time Arun Kumar G | Hariharan A | Ms D Sasikala "Avoiding Data Piracy in Artworks using Blockchain" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-3 , April 2018, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd11244.pd
