Stone tablets eroded, manuscripts decayed, and early hard drives failed with alarming regularity. But in the 21st century, a radical shift is underway—the idea of “data immortality”, where files, memories, and knowledge persist beyond individual lifespans,…

Introduction: A Paradigm Shift in Data Ownership For more than a decade, cloud storage providers like Google Drive, Dropbox, and AWS have dominated the digital landscape, making file management seamless and scalable. However, this dominance comes at a cost: users often give up control over their data in exchange for convenience. In contrast, Web3…

Introduction: The End of Implicit Trust The digital world is undergoing a fundamental shift in how security is perceived. For decades, centralized platforms have acted as guardians of data, requiring users to place blind trust in corporate servers and opaque security models. However, repeated data breaches, surveillance scandals, and the looming threat of quantum…

Introduction: The Coming Quantum Threat The digital world as we know it is secured by cryptography algorithms like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) that protect our files, passwords, and financial transactions. But with the rise of quantum computing, these once-unbreakable systems are nearing obsolescence. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack traditional encryption…

Introduction: The Fragile State of Web3 Security The rapid growth of Web3 has introduced groundbreaking opportunities for decentralization, transparency, and user empowerment. Yet with this progress comes a darker reality: security breaches remain one of the most critical threats to adoption and trust. From exchange hacks to smart contract exploits, billions of dollars have…
