Dependent claims

A block-chain-based distributed data storage device for storing a large amount of data, the device comprising:

a distribution module configured to include two or more node storages connected with each other through a network including Internet and Ethernet and each including a local storage that is a storage space for data to be stored in the distributed data storage device;
a data input/output module configured to input and store data in the node storages included in the distribution module and to read data stored in the node storages therefrom and output it;
an encryption/decryption module configured to encrypt or decrypt data when the data is inputted into or outputted from the node storages included in the distribution module;
and
a module configured to analyze a status of the node storages included in the distribution module inputted or outputted through the data input/output module,
a data analysis and management module configured to analyze a status of the node storages included in the distribution module based on data inputted/outputted through the data input/output module and efficiently managing storage of data in the distribution module by using the analyzed status,
wherein all the node storages included in the distribution module stores and updates block data among data inputted or outputted whenever the data is inputted or outputted through the data input/output module, and the block data includes positions at which the data is stored in the node storages included in the distribution module, encryption/decryption data necessary for data encryption/decryption in the encryption/decryption module, and authority data for determining authority of data input/output.
