IPFS attempts to address the deficiencies of the client-server model and HTTP web through a p2p protocol file sharing system. IPFS is an open-source project created by Protocol Labs, an R&D lab for network protocols and former Y Combinator startup. There are some main component of IPFS systems:
With the Distributed Hash Table, nodes can store & share data without central coordination
IPNS allows exchanged data to be instantly pre-authenticated and verified using public key cryptography.
The Merkle DAG enables uniquely identified, tamper-resistant and permanently stored data
You can access past versions of edited data via the Version Control System
The Merkle DAG enables uniquely identified, tamper-resistant and permanently stored data - this is the key to success.
For how long is the launch of this miracle?
In the news I did not find anything about it. In the sense of the date of launch of this functionality.
But agree, it will be a good service for data storage. No one will have access!
The way to hide your personal data from the control of the NSA and the KGB. A way to keep the information secret, which in no case should become available to the enemies.
IPFS provides high throughput, low latency, data distribution. It is also decentralized and secure. This opens up several interesting and exciting use cases. It can be used to deliver content to websites, globally store files with automatic versioning & backups, facilitate secure file sharing and encrypted communication.
Callisto File System solves a problem of independent and securely storing an archive of security audit reports. The main purpose of this file system is to provide an opportunity to upload, store and view security audit reports, independently from any third-party services. At the same time, the Callisto file system enables users to store custom files in a distributed storage maintained by elected Callisto IPFS-host-nodes. The system can be scaled depending on demand.
The amount of storage available per CLO is determined using the Bancor algorithm that maintains a Constant Reserve Ratio (CRR) of 10. A CRR means that the storage will never be completely consumed, as the price (locked CLO per megabyte) will rise as free capacity shrinks.
Price = Balance / (Supply * CRR)
Where:
Balance is the total amount of storage consumed
Supply is the total amount of storage the host-nodes physically have
CCR is the constant
(10 in EOS and CLO)In Summary, Callisto File System is a method to upload, store, and distribute audit report from Auditors of Security Audit Department. A community member can help to setup IPFS-host-node and get an incentive for doing so.
