Chunk Works Documentation

Network Architecture

The Chunk Works platform uses a unique “reverse peer-to-peer network architecture” with key characteristics:

Efficient Routing

• Uses game theory principles for routing data chunks
• Moves data progressively closer to destination
• Enables immediate parallel downloads
• Eliminates need for complete network content advertising

Chunk Storage Requirements

• Minimal backend requirements
• Two core functions: chunk storage and retrieval
• Optional random chunk retrieval capability

Advanced Distribution Algorithm

• Proprietary linear distance calculation
• Ensures equal chunk distribution across nodes
• Allows seamless scaling from single to multiple nodes

Node Management

• Intentionally non-interactive core design
• Modular approach for interaction methods
• Extensive configuration capabilities
• Flexible integration options

Security by Design

Chunk Works implements security at the architectural level with these core principles:

Threat Response Protocol

• Treat any network operation discrepancy as a potential threat
• Implement universal response protocol
• Automated recovery and redistribution
• Self-healing network maintaining data integrity

The system assumes threats exist and automatically responds to any anomaly, ensuring continuous data protection and network resilience.

Post-Quantum Encryption

Chunk Works is built with future-ready encryption capabilities designed to protect against quantum computing threats:

Key Features

• Future-Ready Architecture: Designed to withstand quantum computing attacks
• Crypto-Agility: Quick algorithm switching without system redesign
• Hybrid Encryption: Supporting both legacy and modern encryption systems
• Seed-Based Security: Advanced key generation and management

The platform’s crypto-agility ensures that as new encryption standards emerge, Chunk Works can adapt without requiring complete system overhauls or data migration.

Deployment

Chunk Works provides flexible deployment options designed for system administrators:

Deployment Tool Characteristics

• Multiple Interfaces: UI, CLI, and API variations available
• Simplified Installation: Streamlined setup process for various environments
• Secure Key Generation: Automated cryptographic key management
• Data Protection: Built-in safeguards prevent accidental mass data deletion

System administrators can choose the deployment method that best fits their workflow, whether through a graphical interface, command-line tools, or programmatic API integration.
