Abstract
BiFrost is a revolutionary solution for secure online communication and data storage. It addresses security concerns such as eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and censorship by offering decentralization, immutability, and data security through the use of blockchain technology. User-submitted data are added directly to the blockchain, creating a global copy in each node, and only authorized users can access the data using private keys. The system is fully decentralized, meaning there is no central authority, making it immune to censorship and government oppression. The technology used in BiFrost includes IPFS, smart contracts, Ethereum, INFURA, Solidity, and SPF. BiFrost provides a secure and decentralized solution for online communication and data storage, eliminating the need for a trusted intermediary and ensuring the privacy and security of data.
