A content identifier, known as a CID, serves as a label in the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).

The creation of CIDs relies on the content's cryptographic hash, which adds an extra layer of security and verification.

This label doesn't reveal the location of where the content is stored. Instead, it functions as a unique address.

The address is generated based on the content itself, ensuring that it is directly tied to the material.
