IPFS, the Interplanetary File System
Leonora Tindall · 2016
IPFS, the InterPlanetary File System, is a content-addressable network. This means that rather than asking the network for a particular site or domain name (like google.com), you ask for a particular piece of content, and you’re guaranteed to recieve it. There’s no possibility of a “monkey in the middle” attack, in which someone maliciously modifies the web page you’re trying to access. To explain it another way, on the normal Web, when you access google.
