Welcome to the AllMyData "tahoe" project. This project implements a
secure, distributed, fault-tolerant storage mesh.
@ -6,12 +5,8 @@ The basic idea is that the data in this storage mesh is spread over all
participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover the data even if a
majority of the nodes are no longer available.
The main application code is in the 'allmydata' package, under src/allmydata/
. There is also a patched version of PyCrypto (adding a faster CTR-mode) in
src/Crypto/ which gets installed to the 'allmydata.Crypto' package (since the
API is different than the normal Crypto package). It also includes Zooko's
PyFEC library, a fast python wrapper around the Rizzo 'fec' C library,
installed to the 'zfec' package and located in src/zfec/ .
The interface to the storage mesh allows you to store and fetch files, either
by self-authenticating cryptographic identifier or by filename and path.

There is a public mesh available for testing. Look at the wiki page
(http://allmydata.org) for the necessary .furl data.
