Interplanetary file system

The Interplanetary file system (IPFS) is a protocol for a distributed data storage that addresses each file with a Contend identifier (CID). The network consists of IPFS nodes which are individual programs that can pinn data files and make them public within the network. The network can find the data assigned to a specific CID by querying a distributed hash table which IPFS node has the content of the wanted CID. The most common application to run an IPFS node is Kubo.

The CID is not only dependent on the content and the filename of the data but also on other parameters like the used hash algorithm.

Resources on the IPFS can be accessed via a
