Interplanetary file system
How are you? Hope so everyone would be safe and sound just like me as I am also safe Alhamdulillah..
Interplanetary file system is one of the most interesting topic that I am going to share with all of you today and not only this I am also going to explain it that how it is advantages along with its synchronization.
Interplanetary file system is one of the most wonderful technology which is about decentralized file sharing so this is one of the unique way to store and distribute files on internet and rather than relying on any Central server interplanetary file system use network of computers for storing and sharing files so it means that files are distributed across multiple computers which make it more resilient and more tough to censor and take down.As well as file sharing becomes much faster due to interplanetary file system.
In interplanetary file system files are recognised and identified by its content not by its location so each and every file have its own unique hash which act as its address so whenever you are thinking to accessing and approaching a file then you are free to use the hash for retrieving it from the network. It means to say that if there are original sources of the file are not online and they are offline for the time as long as someone else have its copy you are still very free to approach it. In this way you have multiple backup of files spread across different computers.
Interplanetary file system is one of the most advantages in away that it is designed to operate across different networks and protocols so this file system is not have limitation and is not confined just to traditional internet infrastructure so in this case if you are in an area which have very confined access of internet then still in that area you can use this file system for approaching those files within your local network or even when you are offline so in this way you are just creating more approachable and more resilient web.
Interplanetary file system also make sharing of files very faster so interplanetary file system automatically gives a closest copy to you if you request a file so in this way reduction of time occurs for retrieving the file. The reason for this is that interplanetary file system is using a distributing hash table for keeping track record of files storing. Distributed Hash table is a big address which could be very helpful for you to finding original copy or right copy of any file in a very quick and efficient way.
Interplanetary file system also has its versioning feature so it means that if there is any change in a file then it would be stored as a separate version so it would permit you to track any kind of history in the changing of files and it this way you can easily approach the previous versions that what was that so for collaborating and ensuring the integrity of data this file system is best.
Interplanetary file system is very helpful in handling security and privacy so this file system maintains security and privacy by using different techniques and this is done for ensuring that files are very secure and freeform any tamper. I have already talked that is file has its own hash that's why that are mean encrypted and protected by hash of the respective file so if there is someone suppose who is trying to modify a file then it will also result in modifying of hash so it would be a kind of alert for you that someone is trying to manipulate your information.
Interplanetary file system synchronization is very important so by the use of content addressing interplanetary file system handle synchronization so file is given its unique hash depending upon its content so if you want to see any file then you need to share its hash with others so that may retrieve file from network by using that hash. If you are going to make any changes in a file then new hash would be generated and you can update the hash and then you can share it.In this way you can say that files are self contained and can be automatically synced.
That was all about this file system that I have explained to you some of its advantages and many more regarding it's basics and synchronization so hopefully now the topic is clear to all of you...
