Hi Melvin, When a request is sent, you request the blocks the key points to. There’s a routing part and a decryption part.
See https://wiki.freenetproject.org/SSK#How_SSKs_work “The SSK is made up of a hash of the public key, and the symmetric key. The hash of the public key acts as the index to the data for searching purposes. Also, the actual public key is stored with the data. This is so that Freenet nodes can verify the signature when the SSK file comes into their node, and also so that clients can verify the signature when retrieving the file. The symmetric key is so that clients can decrypt the file.” Good luck with your project!
