Popis: Readily available blockchain technologies allow to improve reliability and availability of existing cloud applications. This paper presents a blockchain based distributed storage system for permissioned settings. We use a blockchain to form verifiable contracts between clients and storage providers, specifying what should be stored, and when stored data can be deleted. Our approach utilizes a lightweight proof-of-storage mechanism to verify availability of stored data. Further, we publish majority proofs on the blockchain, to incentivize storage providers to behave correctly and to identify misbehavior.
