MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541125238 A) filed by B V Raju Institute Of Technology, Narsapur, Telangana, on Dec. 11, 2025, for 'an approach to secure decentralized storage system using blockchain and interplanetary file system.'
Inventor(s) include Abhay Kumar; Surajit Das; Chaitanya Konduru; and Naathi Usharani.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This work investigates how decentralized technologies, specifically blockchain and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), can address the growing limitations of centralized storage systems. Traditional centralized storage relies on large servers that create risks such as censorship, data breaches, system failures, and unauthorized access. Although peer-to-peer file-sharing platforms like BitTorrent and Napster demonstrated the effectiveness of distributed data exchange, they were not designed to serve as secure or scalable storage infrastructures. This work also presents a proof-of-concept model that overcomes key challenges associated with centralized architectures by proposing a secure, decentralized storage solution. The system integrates a permissioned blockchain network with IPFS to provide immutable, tamper-resistant, and content-addressed storage. Smart contracts and a transaction manager are employed to automate verification, enforce data-handling policies, and securely log file-related transactions. By leveraging distributed ledger technology, cryptographic hashing, and peer-to-peer data storage, the proposed approach enhances security, transparency, and resilience. The solution demonstrates how decentralized components can work together to create a reliable and scalable storage framework that minimizes dependency on centralized servers and empowers users with greater control over their data."
