1. Data Redundancy 2. Encryption

• jackcosgrove 7y ago
  You need to decrypt the data somewhere, which requires holding the key in memory. What's to prevent a nefarious node in the distributed cloud from extracting your key? I could see a solution where every user has their own key, served by a securely hosted (non-distributed) server, and decrypting the data client side, but that doesn't cover all cases where you might need to aggregate or share data across users.

    Only some workloads make sense to offload on such a network. For example I could see it working as a DYI render-farm. I guess the algorithm could be creative in which pixels to give each node so that they don't reveal the source data based on one corrupt node.
