  • The idea is that nodes are trust-less, they do not know anything about the data.

    An owner is authentified over an RSA handshake, so if the owner is not compromised, your request for updating a data will be rejected.

    A malicous node though, must be both lucky (asked to share the data, so it can try to serve the malicious data) but also must have access to the link file so he can use the AES key to encrypt the bad data. This could happen if a malicious peron gets the hand on the link file, which sort of defeats the whole idea in the first place but it’s an attack vector for sure.

    So back to the drawing board again.

    The public RSA key of the owner is already in the link file, I think I can use it to authenticate the data (say the original user uses his private RSA to sign a hash of the data and adds it to the payload).

    Very good feedback, I thought I had it all covered. It seems like I can make a secure fix but I’ll think a bit more about it first of course.



  • Thanks, good ideas and recommendations!

    The data is overshared, so several nodes store your data (as you store theirs. The storage requirements are roughly your data size times the number of over shares. The number of overshares is confugurable on a per data basis), this makes the availability high.

    The data is encrypted with AES 256 (CTR) so nodes do not know what they are storing.

    It’s hard to invent new logos I guess, at least mine is blue and laying on the side…

    It might feel like IPFS but the underlying tech is completely different, so it’s not a DHT but uses dynamic links, which means that you can update your shared data without the need to re distribute the link file.

    Ha ha point taken, I’ll convert it to a better format.


















  • Go get yourself tested for god’s sake!

    Allergies only get worse, so you want to deal with it ASAP before you, for example, get asthma from it. You might also have other allergies you haven’t “figured out” just yet.

    Until you get the tests done, don’t let your dog sleep or be in your bedroom, better ofc not at your place at all :-/

    Watch out for vacuuming, it doesn’t filter dust mites (dead dust mite “parts” are allergenic too) so it just fills the air with them and if you are allergic you’ll have a bad day. Sweep up the dust, or beg someone to vacuum for you (air everything lots during and afterwards).

    Source: got super allergic because I didn’t know stuff like this.
