We want to demonstrate the current state of the double hashing implementation at IPFS camp 2022.

Features to demonstrate

• providing a cid to the dht
  • show that the provider records are stored encrypted
• looking up a cid in the dht
  • show that lookup requests don’t include the cid directly
• looking up a prefix in the dht
  • getting multiple matches for the prefix
  • show that only the provider records for which I know the cid can be read

Demo sequence

what we have now

1. start a new DHT of 40 peers
2. provide a cid to the network
   1. show that the provider record was allocated to 20 peers
   2. the dht server node mentioned with the ./cmd -cids <cid> --host-index <host-index> is the content provider
3. lookup this given cid
   1. show that it was stored encrypted on these peers
   2. show that the provider record can be decrypted and points to the dht server node that provided it
