164                  - P2P storage of data in eternal blocks                  provides an alternative to traditional file-based storage.
165                    of data identified by hashes                  Storm provides the basis for storing xanalogical data to our system.            
166                  - Location-independent, unique identifiers for every piece of data                  Storm stores data in *blocks*. A block is like a file but it
167                    cannot be changed, and instead of a file name it is identified by a
168                    cryptographic content hash. Identifiers are location-independent and
169                    unique identifiers. We are building a Peer-to-Peer system that
170                    allows you to find and download a block if *anybody* on the Internet
171                    publishes it. Currently we use distributed hash tables for searching blocks
172                    in a distributed environment, but the use of other Peer-to-Peer methods
173                    are also studied.
