Much of what is described in the article can be accomplished with content addressable storage.

If we develop an internet where links describe the integrity of a file then we don't have to worry about the content changing out from underneath us. Additionally we get the benefit of being able to distribute the files we depend on anywhere.

Why make a map of hashes that correspond to human readable file urls, when we can directly link to hashes?

Yes, if every single URL in your web application has a hash in it (including <a> hrefs) then you don’t have to worry about anyone maliciously serving a webpage anymore.

But how do you get new app versions? I argue, if you want any meaningful security guarantees, an answer to this question will require transparency and/or code signing (which itself requires transparency, per my comment below)
