System and method for managing images in a decentralized file system based on image metadata in a blockchain

A method comprising:

• determining a timestamp that indicates when a plurality of data packets was communicated in a network;
• in a recursive compression process:
• at a first level, identifying a first repeating structure across the plurality of data packets;
• generating a first compressed data by compressing data with the first repeating structure across the plurality of data packets;
• at a second level, identifying a second repeating structure within the first compressed data;
• and
• generating a second compressed data by compressing data with the second repeating structure within the first compressed data;
• determining a compression level associated with the plurality of data packets via the recursive compression process, wherein the compression level indicates a number of levels used to identify repeating structures within the plurality of data packets;
• determining a respective set of pixel attributes for a given data packet of the plurality of data packets based at least in part upon a predefined rule that maps each attribute of a set of attributes of the given data packet to a respective pixel attribute, wherein:
• the set of attributes comprises at least one of content of the given data packet, the timestamp, and a data structure of the given data packet;
• and
• the predefined rule maps the content of the given data packet to a respective pixel color intensity, and maps the timestamp of the given data packet to a respective pixel location;
• generating a plurality of pixels based at least in part upon the determined respective set of pixel attributes;
• assembling the generated plurality of pixels to form the first image;
• generating a first hash value for a first image based at least in part upon the determined timestamp and the determined compression level, wherein the generated first hash value represents a combination of the determined timestamp and the determined compression level;
• generating a first unique content identifier (CID) for the first image based at least in part upon content within the plurality of data packets, wherein the first CID indicates a location data associated with the first image within a decentralized file system;
• generating a first metadata for the first image, wherein the generated first metadata represents the generated first hash value and the generated first CID in a structured data format;
• associating the generated first metadata to the first image;
• communicating the generated first metadata to a block in a blockchain network;
• and
• communicating the first image to the decentralized file system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• determine a timestamp that indicates when a plurality of data packets was communicated in a network;
• in a recursive compression process:
• at a first level, identify a first repeating structure across the plurality of data packets;
• generate a first compressed data by compressing data with the first repeating structure across the plurality of data packets;
• at a second level, identify a second repeating structure within the first compressed data;
• and
• generate a second compressed data by compressing data with the second repeating structure within the first compressed data;
• determine a compression level associated with the plurality of data packets via the recursive compression process, wherein the compression level indicates a number of levels used to identify repeating structures within the plurality of data packets;
• determine a respective set of pixel attributes for a given data packet of the plurality of data packets based at least in part upon a predefined rule that maps each attribute of a set of attributes of the given data packet to a respective pixel attribute, wherein:
• the set of attributes comprises at least one of content of the given data packet, the timestamp, and a data structure of the given data packet;
• and
• the predefined rule maps the content of the given data packet to a respective pixel color intensity, and maps the timestamp of the given data packet to a respective pixel location;
• generate a plurality of pixels based at least in part upon the determined respective set of pixel attributes;
• assemble the generated plurality of pixels to form the first image;
• generate a first hash value for a first image based at least in part upon the determined timestamp and the determined compression level, wherein the generated first hash value represents a combination of the determined timestamp and the determined compression level;
• generate a first unique content identifier (CID) for the first image based at least in part upon content within the plurality of data packets, wherein the first CID indicates a location data associated with the first image within a decentralized file system;
• generate a first metadata for the first image, wherein the generated first metadata represents the generated first hash value and the generated first CID in a structured data format;
• associate the generated first metadata to the first image;
• communicate the generated first metadata to a block in a blockchain network;
• and
• communicate the first image to the decentralized file system.
