I remember Cloud storage was hacked almost 2 years ago..
Is it possible that this could also happen here in casper?.
What are your safeguards against these type of attacks?
Thank you.
i dont think so but Casper API have node from different country which not only one,if some of the server are going to be hack maybe their are ready for that to block as fast as they can,their have many back up storage so even if hacked they can recover or they have a record..
Casper API is aware of that as they mention they will continue to improve their security. they don't want to end up like Equifax, yahoo, and other online data storage who suffered from data thief. they store client data across entire the globe in multiple copies.
Casper Api will be handle this thing to ensure strict confidentiality the data on all the operations is transferred to the smartcontract in a secure and encrypted way. Casper Api offer a special backup data storage plans that allow for cheaper service if you access your data rarely. In order to ensure a higher level of safekeeping for your backups they
offer to store another copy of your files in partner data centres and other major providers who are ready to take on the responsibility for the security of your data.
thats great to know that they had multiple copies of data stored. but how about file leaked in public? how can they sure that the file is safe from hacker or thief who leaked a file?
We make use of: smart contracts – facilitating communication between clients and providers; P2P architecture –
increasing network reliability; zk-SNARK cryptography method – processing data in a strictly confidential manner. We
also provide SDK allowing you to integrate any application, including DApps, into our platform quickly and easily.
The Casper API smart contract stores a service providers register, connects providers with users and performs billing
procedures. The smart contract regulates the storage network and supervises the work of providers. All the network participants connect with each other with relying on large nodes such as servers allowing for an increased resistance to DDoS attacks.
To ensure strict confidentiality the data on all the operations is transferred to the smart contract in a secure and
encrypted way. We use the zk-SNARK encrypting method, also used in ZCash. This makes Casper API suitable for use
in corporate level DApps.
