Security – Deupload

Don’t trust us with your data.

Deupload is built on a completely decentralized, trustless, and new standard in data security, making worries like data breaches and ransomware attacks a thing of the past.

A better way to store data.

Decentralization is complicated stuff, we make it simple while offering a new standard in security, performance, and pricing.

Encrypt

First, objects are automatically encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption.

Split

Your data is split into pieces that can’t be distinguished from any other object’s pieces.

Distribute

Next, pieces are individually distributed to uncorrelated nodes around the world.

Retrieve

Finally, only 29 of an object’s pieces are needed to reconstitute that data for download.

Keep your data secure

We believe that only you should have access to your data, and we’ve created what we feel is the most private object storage platform in the world.

Secure by Default

Every file are encrypted with AES-256 encryption and the system distributes erasure-coded pieces of the file to a diverse set of Storage Nodes across the globe.

Encryption Keys

Users control the automatically-generated encryption keys—making it simple and secure. Only you and those you grant permissions can access your data.

Delegated Authorization

Deupload pushes access management to the edge and uses macaroon-based API keys for an added layer of security.

Distributed Network

Each file is divided into 80 or more different pieces, and each piece is stored on a different Node. Retrieving and reconstituting a file only requires 29 pieces.

Common Questions

Can Storj see the data I store?

We use the best in encryption technology on a decentralized network which means we couldn’t access your encrypted data even if we really wanted to. This is why data breaches and downtime are a thing of the past with Deupload.

What kind of encryption is used?

Every file is encrypted using AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption. This is standard on every file before being uploaded to the network which is why no unauthorized user can access your data.

Why is this important?

Only you should own your data. A file on Deupload can’t be accessed without keys or permissions. Everything is encrypted before being uploaded—your data can only be viewed by those who have been granted access.

Can I revoke access privileges?

Yes. You have complete control over yourdata and can give and take away permission at any time

Why split up the files?

Splitting files into pieces means your data is never in one place, ensuring ultimate security and availability. If there’s a massive power outage, or something causes several nodes to go offline, that’s completely ok. The Deupload network automatically repairs each piece and recreates it on a healthy node ensuring data is never lost. And because each piece is indistinguishable from any other file’s pieces without the encryption key, this enables unparalleled security and privacy.

Is this secure?

This is a new standard in data security. You don’t have to trust us, that’s just how it works. We’ve taken trust out of the equation entirely by using Reed-Solomon erasure coding. If someone else wants to access your data, they would need to locate each node, then identify your files piece from thousands of other file pieces and repeat that process 29 times. Next, they would need to break AES-256-GCM encryption, which protects the world’s most sensitive data and classified information. It’s not going to happen.

Where are the nodes?

Our global network is made up of thousands of Nodes. Currently, over 16k Nodes arebeing hosted in 80+ countries.

How are nodes selected to store an object piece?

Nodes are automatically selected according to reputation and local latency. We select reputable nodes at random, weighted by network diversity, then attempt to upload to a larger set of those selected nodes. The fastest nodes from this set are chosen to store files.

How many pieces are needed to retrieve a file?

To retrieve a file, we only need 29 encrypted pieces. Using just those 29 pieces, the network can automatically rebuild the data contained in the remaining pieces.

What happens if a node goes offline?

One node going offline won’t impact any files. Our network’s automatic repair processreacts when too many pieces for any filesare lost, and repairs them within a very healthy margin of safety.
