Our software library, named as Storage Modules (Storm) |

- P2P storage of data in eternal blocks |
provides an alternative to traditional file-based storage. |

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. |
