(I'm not a cryptographer)

Imagine a web where all links were magnet links. Each site could also have a magnet link to another site containing a diff in case of updates which the browser would automatically check.

The content hash in the magnet link would have to be based on something other than content (because content is not known at the time of page creation). The magnet link could contain a cryptographic hash of a secret string that only the owner possessed.

haha yep, i thought of this like 6-8 years ago. from what I've sorta thought of in conjunction with your statements, I'd like to add that there's numerous processing and hacking issues and whatever else. It's extremely insecure. The closest we will get to this is the "cloud".

Aren't these the exact same issues the cdns deal with?
