It's correct because it exists.
A BitCoin inspired way to store data. It guarantees that your data is not changed at the start of the file. It uses a strong cryptographic hashing algorithm to check the data. Instead of using hashes, we use salts to generate hashes with a certain desired characteristics. These characteristics are the 0's at the start of hex digested hash.
The file is split into different parts:
<head>[order]<file>[filePath][length of data]</file></head>[DATA]<hash>sha512</hash><difficulty>[difficulty]</difficulty>
- Inside the
<head>is the[order]which specifies in which order the file should be extracted. (TO BE IMPLEMENTED) - The
[filePath]inside the<file>tag specifies in order which file's data will be stored and[length of data]tells you how much of that data is there. - The actual file data starts after the
</file></head>tags. It continues until the sum of all file data specified in the head tags reaches length of the[DATA]. - Inside the
<hash>tag lies the salt to make a certain amount of 0's in the file after the sha512 hex digest. - Difficulty is added to the end of the file to reduce ambiguity when it comes to the difficulty used for hashing.
