How does a Peer-to-Peer cache work in regards to trust?
- cookiengineer 5y agoA peer to peer consent algorithm always has to be trustless, meaning that you have to be able to verify things cryptographically so that there can be no 51% attack for each peer bucket. How that cryptography can be "safe" in the sense that nobody is able to fake it is a different story, because in the web lots of things can be statistically true or untrue, but stochastically the opposite (e.g. a website being down right now or unreachable or rendered differently for each country etc). In my case I'm using existing TLS infrastructure so that each peer can use their own certificates to communicate with other peers directly.
