This sections describes decentralized storage provider options within Starling Integrity project.

Geofencing

• 1st level being US vs. EU (via IP address or KYC)
• 2nd level being by country (via IP address or KYC)

Allowlisting

• 1st level being that nodes have a persistent identity on the network, can be pseudonymous
• 2nd level being we have contact information via some KYC process that we can “call a node operator” to sort issues
• 3rd level being established orgs (like Internet Archive, etc.) are the only node operators (similar to how Lit imagines their validator network)

Access Control

• 1st level being data everywhere, encryption key is only protection
• 2nd level being a static shared key to gate access of actual encrypted content (e.g. private ipfs swarm key)
• 3rd level being a dynamically provisioned, ACL-based, or revokable key to gate access of content (so leak keys have remedy)

Content Erasure

A programatic way to signal an erasure of content on the network.
