DHTks
DHTks is a term used in discussions of distributed hash tables to denote the key management layer responsible for creating, routing, replicating, and deleting keys within a DHT. It is not a formal standard; different projects define its scope differently. In general, DHTks covers the mechanisms by which keys are mapped to nodes, tracked, and maintained as the network changes.
Architecturally, DHTks partitions the global key space among participating nodes using a consistent hashing function. Each
Typical operations include put, get, and delete. When a value is stored, the key is hashed to
DHTks is commonly associated with peer-to-peer networks and decentralized storage needing scalable, fault-tolerant data location without
Key challenges include churn, data durability, and security threats such as Sybil attacks and spoofing. Design
