## Zero-Stor : a quantum safe backend storage system. ## Zero-Stor : A Quantum Safe Backend Storage System.
### Why? ### The Problem
Traditional backend storage systems have their roots in centralized environments, focusing on low-latency and closed security setups. However, these characteristics make them less suitable for use in decentralized cloud contexts. Traditional backend storage systems have their roots in centralized environments, focusing on low-latency and closed security setups. However, these characteristics make them less suitable for use in decentralized cloud contexts.
Newer-generation storage systems like protocol-driven or blockchain-based solutions may face scalability and performance limitations and may not fulfill certain critical requirements that we consider essential. Newer generation storage systems such as protocol-driven or blockchain-based solutions may face scalability and performance limitations and may not fulfill certain critical requirements that we consider essential.
### What? ### Introducing Zero-Stor
A redesigned storage system which can scale to planet level, is super secure private and fast enough for more usecases. Its designed to operate in a decentralized context. Data can never be lost of corrupted. A redesigned storage system which can scale to planet level. It is super secure, private and fast enough for more use cases. It is designed to operate in a decentralized context and data can never be lost or corrupted.
This storage system is a backend storage system, cannot be used by end users, its meant to be integrated with a front end storage system like e.g. S3 or a filesystem (see next section). This storage system is:
- A backend storage system
- It cannot be used by end users
- It's meant to be integrated with a front end storage system like e.g. S3 or a filesystem (see next section).
