Comparison of IPFS and EdgeFS for Secure Edge/IoT Computing use cases

Data security presents a major challenge of Edge/Fog computing growth. Learn how to overcome issues with the introduction of modern decentralized data layer EdgeFS. The benefits come from protecting assets close to the source of data, ones that were never intended to connect to broader networks, much less the internet. In EdgeFS, once recorded, data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively as this would invalidate all SHA-3 hashes in the previous blocks in a blockchain-like n-ary tree and break the consensus agreed among decentralized locations.
