Systems like Lotus Notes [XXX], a popular database sharing
and collaboration tool, use location-independent,
global identifiers to refer to documents.
.. Freenet's cryptographical identifiers:
-XXX
+Freenet [freenet-andalso-freenet-ieee]_, a peer-to-peer
+anonymous publication system, uses cryptographic
+functions to generate location-independent identifiers.
+
+In Freenet, identifiers for specific versions of documents are
+generated by the use of a *collision-free cryptographic
+hash function* [XXX]. A hash function maps an arbitrary-length
+input to a short, fixed-length output, e.g. 20 bytes.
+
+Hash functions are collision-free if it is
+mathematically extremely unlikely that two documents
+will ever be mapped to the same hash, making them
+ideal to identify documents on the Web.
+
+Documents are identified by a public key.
+Versions of the documents are then
+digitally signed [XXX]_ using the corresponding
+private key.
+
+However, finding a document on Freenet can be
+quite slow, taking many seconds. This is not
+acceptable for general Web publishing.
