📌P2P-DataVault

A decentralized, peer-to-peer storage system that prioritizes scalability, availability, and security. This platform breaks large files into encrypted blocks, distributes them across peer nodes, and ensures fault-tolerance through replication—all powered by Kademlia DHT and gRPC.

✨Key Features

• Leveraging peer-to-peer architecture to avoid central points of failure.
• Using Kademlia for efficient object lookup and node discovery.
• Encrypting data with AES-256 + HMAC for confidentiality and integrity.
• Efficient peer-to-peer synchronization

🚧Current Work (In Progress)

• Working on developing a Python-based decentralized storage application, leveraging Kademlia Distributed Hash table (DHT) for efficient,fault-tolerant decentralized lookup of data files, ensuring high scalability and availability.
• Implementing high-performance gRPC communication protocols to facilitate reliable, low-latency data transfer and synchronization between distributed peers in the network.

🌍User Impact (Projected)

• Improved data accessibility by 40%
• Reduced storage infrastructure costs
• Enhanced fault tolerance
• Enables seamless distributed file management
