Shared cloud object store, governed by permissioned blockchain
Abstract
1) Design of the Shared COS architecture, augmented with an ability to setup a consortium of business parties willing to maintain shared data store in the cloud. 2) Addressing the "blockchain bloat" problem by profiting from the coupling between COS and blockchain, maintaining object metadata in the blockchain while the object itself resides in the COS.
