5 OBJECTIVES/WORKPLAN
The main goal is to build a Proof of Space blockchain that relies on real contents that are maintained in the nodes of Machine Learning, Data
Analytics and Cloud platforms.
More precisely, the work will integrate previous work in our team on the Proof of Space blockchain protocol, called “Chia Bread Pudding”,
with an encrypted file system on a mainstream Operating System, such as Linux. In this blockchain protocol, the stake of each user is given by the amount of file contents that he holds in his disks.
The goal of the integrated system that should result from this grant is to allow “Chia Bread Pudding” to use the user’s contents that are
already maintained in an encrypted file system. The implemented solution should also try to ensure that this integration does not incur relevant overheads on the normal operation of the file system.
The work plan will include:
The expected outcome is a design and implementation of the above-mentioned integrated systems, together with a comprehensive experimental evaluation, to be presented in at least one scientific paper.
6 SCIENTIFIC SUPERVISION
The activities will be supervised by João Pedro Faria Mendonça Barreto, Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico and Researcher at INESC-ID.
INESC ID will integrate the grantees in the research team of the scientific advisor.
7 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The candidates should be enrolled in a BSc program in Computer Engineering or related areas.
