Let’s talk about blobs Computers understand bits, bits form bytes. Bytes can be ordered into sequence: we end up having blocks of data, blobs. We store them in various places. Running program will need some data inside memory, other part of it will be saved on disk. Some data will be downloaded from servers, CPU will keep some blobs inside it’s cache. We can put dozens of examples here, but what this shows is that being so fundamental in computer science, proper data blob management is the key to good application environment.

What? Cinode is an experimental project, something like a sandbox for ideas. It does/will utilize some cryptography to materialize new kind of application environment. As a result of this project, I’d like to come up with a pretty good idea on how we could create new set of apps built on top of solid cryptographic base: secure by default but still relatively easy to create. This solid cryptographic base is the major goal here.
