C3RES

public

Special dates:

magnet-like links

  • with or without decryption key
    • thus shards can be opened if you either are part of the target group (have target group priv key) or get passed the stream key in the link
  • main url content is the hash, everything else is optional:
    • author (thus helping to locate the hash vie author's metadata like primary shard server)
    • modifier signature (see above) to enable verifiable redirections to updated versions
  • it would probably be possible to use the magnet spec directly, no need to derive a separate protocol (like magenc for Spritely)
    • one could use free extensions to the format (anything starting with x.)
    • ... on the other hand everyone and their grandma are specifying custom protocols these days (dat://, ipfs://, ...) so why not go with c3res:// just as well
      • additional benefit: registering OS-level protocol handlers
