The problem InfoSentinel solves

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the usage and access history of your personal documents? Traditionally, we've had to place our trust in banks, providing them with attested copies of our important documents and crossing our fingers, hoping that they are handled securely and responsibly.

However, we strongly believe that it's time for a change. With InfoSentinel, you gain the power to take control of your own documents. No longer do you need to hope for the best; you can actively manage who has access to your documents and keep a close eye on how frequently they are viewed.

Think of InfoSentinel as a revolutionary tool, akin to a transactional app, but with a focus on something even more precious than money – your vital documents. With InfoSentinel, you have the freedom to tailor every aspect of each document transaction to your exact specifications.

Here's the game-changer: when a vendor or authorized party gains access to your documents, they receive an NFT certificate that clearly demonstrates the extent of their access. Even after you've revoked access, you'll have indisputable proof of every interaction with your documents. InfoSentinel not only ensures control and security but also provides a transparent and immutable record of every access event, giving you unprecedented peace of mind and control over your valuable information.

Challenges we ran into

The primary challenge we faced was the prevention of screenshot capture, a problem we've addressed by encouraging users to exclusively utilize InfoSentinel for all their document transactions. While some might question whether users could circumvent this by creating fake accounts and uploading screenshots, this is where our cutting-edge machine learning model plays a crucial role. It employs a deep learning algorithm to thoroughly analyze every data node, identifying and flagging any potential duplicates.

Another significant challenge was ensuring that users receive timely notifications regarding document accesses and that the creation of NFT certificates is not only seamless but also transparent to all relevant parties. This required careful design and implementation to provide a robust and user-friendly experience.
