Node-level keys. All those involved in fetching or inserting the file. Both CHKs and SSKs. > 2) please explain the different key levels! These are the actual network keys. Not the file you get when you download them via fproxy. The point is, they include the original SSK, so you can a) reinsert a freesite despite not having the private key, b) verify that it was created using the private key. > 3) why the hell "blob"?? blob is *void so use x-binary or something like that > - if you want a "real" mimetype, let it have a descriptive name! bad > suggestions from me: .fce "x-freenet-contentexport", .flle "-lowlevelexport", > .fdp "-datapackage", .fcnc "- > cannednetworkcontent", a wild combination of these or something else, but > "blob" it unnecessarily weird The original proposal was for "binary blobs". Maybe it should be a different name. For example? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
