This will open websites to a hole new array of exploits. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Just something that will need to be addressed. I'm thinking seeders sending corrupted/malicious packets to other peers.
- soccer152 14y agoIt does mention that checks are in place to prevent tampering. "PeerCDN uses a centralized resource authentication server to generate SHA1 hashes of a site's resources. Data provided by peers will only be used if it is safe and unmodified. All peer-to-peer communication is encrypted."
- bifrost 14y agoIt may prevent tampering, but it does nothing for surveilance. Say hello to passwords.
- soccer152 14y agoSurveillance, sure. Like a MITM could be a threat, but a MITM is a threat for any HTTP request. And shouldn't forms still be posted directly back to the server? If it's just a CDN I don't see how any confidential data could be leaked unless the server serves up your credentials in cleartxt. Perhaps I misunderstood you?
