Title: Content addressable information encapsulation, representation, and transfer
Inventor: CARPENTIER PAUL R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-01-23
Abstract: Representing a number of assets on an originating computer begins with selecting the assets to be represented (102). Cryptographic hash asset identifiers are generated (104); each of the asset identifiers is computed using the contents of a particular asset. The asset identifier is a content-based or content-addressable asset name for the asset and is location independent. An asset list is generated that includes the asset identifiers computed from the assets (106). A cryptographic hash asset list identifier is generated that is computed from the asset list (108). The asset list identifier is stored for later retrieval. The assets selected are also stony for safekeeping either locally or on a computer network. In the went of loss of the files from the originating computer, the asset list identifier is retrieved (302). Using the asset list identifier, the original asset list is found and retrieved from its safe location (306). The asset identifiers from the retrieved asset list are used to find and retrieve the individual assets from their backup locations (314, 316). The assets are verified by recomputing the cryptographic hash asset identifier for each asset retrieved and comparing it to the asset identifier from the asset list (316). The MD5 algorithm is used for the cryptographic hash function. Assets are retrieved using a multicast protocol (402). A series of importer programs (702-710) searches for assets to retrieve in progressively more remote locations.     Assets are retrieved whole or in segments (606).
