Sky Space AI employs shard encryption technology to provide unparalleled security for your data. By splitting files into encrypted fragments, this innovative system ensures that your information remains protected and private.
The process begins with sharding, where each uploaded file is divided into smaller parts called shards:
Each shard contains a portion of the file’s data, rendering it incomplete on its own.
These smaller fragments prepare the file for secure storage and distribution across the decentralized network.
This division creates an additional layer of security, as no single shard holds enough information to reconstruct the original file.
Once the file is fragmented, each shard is encrypted individually:
Sky Space AI uses advanced cryptographic protocols to secure every shard.
The encryption process ensures that even if a shard were intercepted, it would be meaningless without the encryption keys and the other shards.
By encrypting at the shard level, Sky Space maximizes protection for your data against unauthorized access.
The encrypted shards are then distributed across the decentralized network:
Shards are stored in multiple, geographically dispersed nodes, ensuring no single location holds all the fragments.
This decentralized approach enhances security and resilience, preventing centralized points of failure.
Even if one part of the network is compromised, the system remains secure as the fragments alone are unusable without the others.
When a user requests access to their file:
The system retrieves the encrypted shards from the network.
When using Skyspace AI, only the wallet that initially uploads the data can access it by confirming ownership through our smart contract.
This process ensures that only the rightful owner can access the complete and decrypted file, maintaining absolute data sovereignty.
Shard encryption technology is the cornerstone of Sky Space AI’s security model, combining fragmentation, encryption, and decentralization to create a robust, privacy-first storage solution.
