GuaridDrive is a decentralized cloud storage system that encrypts files before upload and distributes them across networks such as IPFS and Arweave. This approach secures data, prevents tampering, and removes reliance on centralized providers. It features locally encrypted file storage accessible only to the owner, decentralized distribution across multiple nodes for redundancy, secure file sharing with permission controls and expiration settings, and built-in backups through decentralized replication. ^[6]

GuaridCalendar

GuaridCalendar is a decentralized scheduling tool that encrypts event details and restricts access to authorized participants. It is designed to protect sensitive information and prevent exposure through centralized databases. Its features include end-to-end encrypted event management, blockchain wallet-based RSVPs for secure and verifiable attendance, token-based payments for events or tickets, and privacy-focused scheduling that keeps control of event data with the users. ^[7]

GuaridPass

GuaridPass is a decentralized password and key management system that encrypts and stores sensitive information such as passwords, private keys, and seed phrases. It ensures that only the user can access and control their stored data. It has end-to-end encryption for all credentials, multisig wallet recovery for regaining access, encrypted key and password sharing with time-limited permissions, and secure storage of cryptocurrency seed phrases and private keys. ^[8]

GuaridVPN

GuaridVPN is a decentralized virtual private network that encrypts internet traffic and anonymizes browsing to prevent tracking and unauthorized access. It is designed to provide secure online activity without relying on centralized providers. It features a decentralized node system where users can act as providers, a zero-log policy that prevents the storage of browsing data, encrypted traffic protection across all connections, and compatibility with multiple devices for cross-platform security. ^[9]

GuaridAuthenticator

GuaridAuthenticator is a security tool that provides two-factor and multi-signature authentication to protect accounts from unauthorized access. It generates encrypted one-time passwords (OTPs) locally on the device, supports multi-signature verification requiring approval from multiple parties for sensitive actions, and enables wallet-based authentication using decentralized identity for added security. ^[10]

GuaridChat

GuaridChat is a communication platform that provides end-to-end encrypted messaging and secure voice and video calls, ensuring all interactions remain private. Messages and files are encrypted so only intended recipients can access them, while group chats allow multiple participants to communicate securely. The platform supports both one-on-one and group communications, offering a fully encrypted alternative to traditional messaging and calling services. ^[11]

GuaridPay

GuaridPay is a decentralized payment platform that enables secure cryptocurrency transactions for both peer-to-peer transfers and goods or services. It allows fast and private payments using GuaridOS tokens or other cryptocurrencies, supports cross-border transactions without relying on traditional banks, and accommodates a wide range of cryptocurrencies to give users flexibility in their payment options. ^[12]

GuaridVault

GuaridVault is a decentralized cloud storage service designed to securely store important files and documents. All data is encrypted before being uploaded, ensuring that only the user has access. Backups can be restored seamlessly to any device through a simple recovery process without compromising security. Data is distributed across multiple decentralized nodes, providing redundancy and resilience against data loss, server failures, or unauthorized access, ensuring long-term protection and reliability. ^[13]

GuaridBrowser

GuaridBrowser is a privacy-focused web browser that protects users from trackers, ads, and third-party surveillance while browsing the internet. It automatically blocks trackers and intrusive advertisements, integrates directly with decentralized applications (DApps) for seamless Web3 access, and offers a privacy mode that prevents browsing history from being stored, ensuring personal data remains secure. ^[14]

GuaridLink

GuaridLink is a platform that enables secure and easy access to the decentralized web. It provides seamless navigation to decentralized websites and dApps through a single interface, ensures all connections are secure to protect user privacy, and allows users to operate without relying on centralized services. ^[15]

GuaridIdentity

GuaridIdentity is a decentralized identity management system that gives users full control over their digital identity. It enables self-sovereign identity, allowing users to manage personal information without relying on centralized authorities, supports verifiable credentials for secure identity proof without over-sharing data, and ensures privacy through encrypted storage on the blockchain. ^[16]

Features

The platform is designed with several key features to support its goals of user privacy and data control. End-to-end encryption is utilized to secure user communications and data stored within the platform's applications. To prevent reliance on a single point of failure and enhance data sovereignty, GuaridOS uses decentralized networks for file storage. ^[1]

A core feature is the use of Web3 wallets for login and identity management, which allows users to maintain control over their digital identity without relying on centralized providers. The platform's architecture is built to ensure users retain full ownership and control over their personal data. Furthermore, GuaridOS is designed for integration with the broader Web3 ecosystem, allowing it to interact with other decentralized applications and services. ^[1]

Architecture

GuaridOS is built with a mix of blockchain, decentralized storage, encryption, and web technologies to deliver a privacy-focused platform. Its core blockchain functions rely on Ethereum and smart contracts written in Solidity, while data is stored through IPFS and Arweave with AES-256 encryption for security.

On the application side, Web3.js enables client interaction with Ethereum, with MetaMask serving as the main wallet. The backend is built using NodeJS with Express.js, the frontend uses React, and MongoDB manages database needs. For deployment, the system runs in Docker containers, combining these elements to support a decentralized and secure environment under user control. ^{[1] [2]}
