IPARO: INTERPLANETARY ARCHIVAL RECORD OBJECT FOR DECENTRALIZED WEB ARCHIVING AND REPLAY

Abstract

We proposed a decentralized version tracking system using the existing primitives of IPFS and IPNS. While our description talks primarily about archived web pages, we proposed the concept of IPMT and namespacing so that it can be used in other applications that require versioning, such as a wiki or a collaborative code tracking system. Our proposed system does not rely on any centralized server for archiving or replay of the content. The system continues to allow aggregators to play their role from which both large and small archives can benefit and flourish.
