Cloud Storage

AIDAC uses cloud storage to store the dataset collected from AIDAC app. AIDAC currently supports AWS S3 storage and support for other cloud storage (such as GCP, Azure, etc.) would be added in near future.

Customers have an option to either use AIDAC's default cloud storage or use their own cloud storage to store their data.

Storage Region

Data collected can be stored at any region across the globe. This helps customers in achieving data compliance with regulations of various countries. For instance, AWS S3 bucket can be created at various regions across the globe and the data collected is stored in the chosen region.

Cloud storage settings can be configured for every project. For example, one project can have Asia Pacific as region and the other at US West region.

256 Bit Encryption

AIDAC backend by default encrypts the cloud storage credentials using advanced 256 bit encryption. This gives an additional layer of security to the cloud storage credentials.

Pre-Signed URL

Data needs to transmitted from the cloud storage to the AIDAC dashboard and app for the following purposes,

• Meta Data - End users will have to get access to the data for filling the metadata from the dashboard.
• Quality Control - Users would need the data for QC purposes.
• Audit Report - This helps the End Users understand their approval/rejection status of their data.

For all the above cases, the AIDAC backend generates pre-signed URLs with limited duration. This ensures that the data is accessed only by authorized users and for a limited duration.
