SentinelStore: A Zero-Knowledge, Fault-Tolerant Decentralized Storage Architecture Utilizing Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Kademlia DHT

As the digital ecosystem becomes increasingly reliant on centralized cloud infrastructure, the vulnerabilities associated with single points of failure, data sovereignty, and privacy intrusion have become critical bottlenecks. This paper introduces SentinelStore, a novel decentralized storage protocol designed to shift the trust boundary entirely to the client edge. Unlike traditional distributed systems that rely on full-file replication, SentinelStore implements a Zero-Knowledge Architecture by performing all cryptographic operations—key generation, authenticated encryption, and Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS)—directly within the user’s browser. This ensures that the storage network remains mathematically oblivious to the data it holds. We propose a hybrid storage model that utilizes a Kademlia-based Distributed Hash Table (DHT) for resilient shard distribution and a metadata coordinator for access control, without compromising the zero-trust principle. Furthermore, we introduce an innovative Dynamic Re-sharding Orchestration mechanism, allowing administrators to mathematically alter the fault-tolerance parameters of stored data without decrypting it or requiring client intervention. Experimental results demonstrate that this architecture achieves information-theoretic security and high availability with significantly lower storage overhead compared to traditional replication strategies.

The correlation between salary and the performance of the NBA players

The salary of an NBA athlete depends on many factors like their performance, etc. And on the basis of that they are offered a contract. In this research paper I have examined all these factors, and on the basis of that I have created a calculator that predicts the salary of an NBA athlete when their performance data is entered. Next in the paper I have discussed what is the superstar effect and how it affects the salary of the players. I have also compared the statistics of different players to show how they contribute to their team on court.

Financial Literacy of Rural Women in India

Financial literacy is a key aspect in the life of an individual. Today both men and women work at an equal level, but women in the rural areas of India are not given a lot of freedom in this field. For women in India, financial literacy is still falling behind. People tend to learn about financial management through experiences of their own and others. The role of females in every rural family should not be neglected. This paper studies the level of financial literacy across various rural districts in India, understanding the engagement of women in financial services, identifying the key challenges faced by them, and offering suggestions to improve the financial literacy of women and discussing policies introduced that help them.

Groundwater Recharge through Permeable Pavement

Rapid urbanization has led to increased impervious surfaces such as conventional concrete and asphalt pavements, which prevent natural infiltration of rainwater into the ground. This results in groundwater depletion, surface runoff, and urban flooding. Permeable pavement is an innovative and sustainable solution that allows rainwater to pass through its surface and infiltrate into the underlying soil layers, thereby recharging groundwater. This paper studies the concept, working mechanism, components, and benefits of groundwater recharge through permeable pavements. The study highlights how permeable pavements can reduce runoff, improve water quality, and support sustainable urban water management. A simple model is also proposed to demonstrate the working of permeable pavement systems. This paper presents a detailed study on the concept, components, and working mechanism of groundwater recharge through permeable pavements. The benefits of this system, including runoff reduction, water quality improvement, and sustainable urban water management, are discussed. Additionally, a simple physical model is proposed to demonstrate the functioning of permeable pavement systems for educational and practical understanding.
