How to communicate privately over Internet? Use Darknet! No, its not a shady net. The term was first invented by DARPA and been long used by the agency. HP is just making it easy to use and bringing it to you and me.
HP won’t give the specifics of its implementation, but here’s how the idea works: Someone navigates to a Web site that serves up some JavaScript code that runs in the user’s browser. That code uses the local storage capacity built into the latest version of browsers like Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. As a result, each user gives up some local storage that holds redundant, encrypted slices of data that together are coordinated and shared by the darknet. As a whole, the information exists so long as the darknet exists.
