A secure, distributed file system to share storage space on your computer with your friends. Your social network of friends is based on the web-of-trust model as seen in PGP systems.
Though existing filesystems seemingly provide the required functionalities of a filesystem, we strongly believe that the technology trends can enable a more powerful storage (and compute) environment. Following are the goals of our filesystem :
- Reliability - A file could be recreated from other peers even if the original host which created the file has lost/corrupted it.
- Sharing - Other peers could access files which another peer has shared with him/her.
- Security - Files should be spread out over untrusted nodes and transmitted over untrusted networks without anyone else being able to gather useful information about file content.
- Integrity - It should be impossible to fake or modify contents of someone’s file or folder listing without them knowing about it.
- Ubiquity - Accessible anywhere! (Future)
Apart from the above goals, we should be able to lease out part of our storage space in exchange for digital currencies.
