IPFS - How to add encrypted files to ipfs

in #life6 years ago (edited)


IPFS is great and all...but (just like HTTP) it's not very secure. That part is up to you.

Firstly, only share your peerID with people that you wish to direct to your content. Anyone could potentially find your peerID the same way as finding a webpage on HTTP. They could then download all content you have published (same as HTTP).

So what do we do?

In this video, I'll show how to use WinRAR to create an encrypted file and add it to IPFS. WinRAR doesn't give you military-grade encryption...but really, it's good enough to protect the pics of your "My Little Pony " collection.
