In this sense, the aspects related to resilience are fundamental, that is, the ability to adapt to cyber threats without compromising integrity, purpose, and functional continuity, and disaster recovery, which, as the term suggests, is the process of restoring an organization's IT systems and data following a catastrophic event.
Two cases, for two completely different aspects, have remained in the memory of many users, who believed that the web, the cloud, and the services offered by open-source platforms were inviolable. In the first case, a malfunction or a failure caused a fire in one of the main data centers of the cloud provider OVH. In fact, in 2021, the Sbg-1 and Sbg-2 servers located on the Strasbourg campus were irreparably damaged by a massive fire that took firefighters many hours to extinguish. The result was that a piece of the internet disappeared, mostly forever. The other case, of a completely opposite nature, refers to OpenLibrary, an open-source project that has been living in a rough conflict with some major publishing houses for years and which, through legal battles, reports the disappearance of over 500,000 titles from its site, forcibly removed. A similar situation is being experienced by the foundation The Internet Archive.
In this sense, for authors and writers, blockchain technology offers an extremely effective and cutting-edge solution, as it allows going beyond the previously established criterion of trust as the essential element of protection. Through constant and complete reliance on mathematics, it enables the persistence and preservation over time of an unaltered file along with the information accompanying it, mostly without revealing its content or subject to specific usage licenses.
The digital asset format known as a non-fungible token, or NFT, is the ideal tool for assigning any literary work a clear and inviolable attribution, always traceable and demonstrable over time. Maenoox is the service designed for all authors so that they have an extra lever to assert their rights over their works.
