konsensus's Introduction

KONSENSUS

Konsensus is a company founded in the Blockchain industry.

Intellectual property theft happens to 1 in 5 companies and costs the American economy between $225 and $600 billion annually. Our proposed solution is a decentralized file hosting service. Using smart contract technology, access and ownership of files can be easily tracked and saved on the blockchain. With this service, we are targeting innovation-based SMEs that often do not have protocols in place to protect against IP theft, nor do they have the funds to defend a lawsuit. Having a secure, decentralized file sharing system, start-ups can be assured their confidential documents are kept safe and suspicious actions are monitored.

konsensus's Issues

Use Case 3 - Accessing files as an external party.

Original use case: A hardware engineer uploads a blueprint to service to sends it to the manufacturer.

The manufacturer will most likely be on different premises than the engineer.
We need to ensure the blueprint stays in the right hands at all times.

A tech consultant or contractor is not a typical employee of a company, but will still need access to certain confidential files.
We can use our service to control their access to important documents.

Create architecture diagram.

Based on your use cases, discuss the product requirements with all members of your team. Once that is complete, with the technical members of your team, design an intended architecture diagram
The diagram should not be highly detailed as you have just started. You'll be using this to help guide your work.
It should include all pieces of your production infrastructure (emails, databases, caches, servers, email, background jobs, ML models, etc)
Include a short write up explaining anything that is not obvious.
