End-to-End Integrity with IPFS
This post explains how to use Cloudflare's IPFS gateway to set up a secure website while maintaining performance and reliability benefits of being served from Cloudflare’s edge network. The process involves setting up an "ipfs-sec" subdomain, enabling DNSSEC, serving static websites from IPFS using CNAME setup, and verifying the content served by the gateway with a modified browser extension. An example application is also provided - a distributed search engine built on top of Kiwix archives of all StackExchange websites. The author emphasizes that combining IPFS with Cloudflare opens up new possibilities for secure web page delivery through third-party hosting providers and CDNs, and looks forward to seeing more applications developed using this technology.
