So right now I could discover a random IPFS node, enumerate its hashes, and download the content?
This means if I want to back up my own secret files I need to either
- encrypt them before they go into IPFS
- or run my own private IPFS network by changing the bootstrap nodes
For the second case, is communication between IPFS nodes encrypted on the wire or should I encrypt my files anyway to avoid eavesdroppers?
I get that IPFS is mostly designed for public content. Just want to understand what precautions to take for secret content with IPFS as it is today. It sounds like “don’t tell people your hashes” is not enough.
