What is IPFS Internet Protocol?
IPFS stands for Interplanetary file system. This is a new form of the file system in which a new internet protocol is used. We all know that normally we surf websites generally, we find HTTP (Hypertext transfer protocol) and HTTPS (Hypertext transfer protocol secured). But in IPFS Internet Protocol you can browse in peer to peer network.
Difference between HTTPS and IPFS:
Normally when we browse there is a server and when we surf the internet all the data is coming from that alone server. Here there are major chances of failing any query you post on the internet. Even tech companies and government can access your data if they want. They can block certain websites, put censorship on browsing the websites.
Did you know:
In Thailand, most of the Wikipedia pages are blocked and even in Turkey, more than 1 lakh websites are blocked. In China, critical Covid-19 Information is not available. All this is because of government has banned and blocked.
Peer to peer network:
When you surf your websites it will not come directly from servers. It will come from nearby nodes. A node means a user who is consuming the content on your devices in an encrypted form. Here the websites start from IPFS while normally website's URL starts from HTTPS.
Final words:
According to my opinion, this technology will be popular as today people all around the world take their privacy on the internet pretty seriously. The impact on users will be is that users will receive faster internet speed. Page loading time is reduced. Since the data is stored in encrypted form on your smartphone so your data is with yourself and no other can interfere in this.
