Data Flow and Security

Centralium prioritizes data security and user privacy throughout its architecture. Incident reports and associated multimedia are encrypted client-side before being transmitted to decentralized storage. Only authorized and verified parties (e.g., AI engine, community validators, designated authorities with appropriate permissions) can access the decrypted content, and only under strict protocols. End-to-end encryption ensures that data remains confidential from the point of creation to its intended recipient [3].

Blockchain-based timestamping is employed for every critical action, including report submission, AI verification results, and community validation decisions. This creates an immutable audit trail on the BSC, making it impossible to alter or tamper with records without detection. This feature is vital for maintaining the integrity of evidence and ensuring accountability.

Furthermore, Centralium integrates privacy-preserving technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for certain verification processes, allowing the validation of information without revealing the underlying data. This commitment to privacy ensures that users can contribute to community safety without compromising their personal information.
