We would have to put the information in public metadata. But then that opens a range of evil attacks, like an evil person inserting a multipart file into Freenet, listing the correct parts in an SVK, but then including false information in the public metadata of those parts. Nodes would then be oblivious to the fact they are parts of the same file, and the node would be open to attack. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
