Create Folder

Folders can be created to organize files.

• A new Folder Entity Metadata is created when a user wants to create a new folder.

• Folders can only be created in existing drives, and must have a valid Drive-Id

• Folders can only be created in existing parent folders, and must have a valid Parent-Folder-Id

• The new folder metadata transaction must generate a new UUIDv4 for the Folder-Id

• Folder Entity Metadata transactions must have Entity-Type: "folder"

• The client gets the user’s local time for the Unix-Time tag, represented as Seconds Since Unix Epoch.

• The user defined folder name is added to the name property in the folder’s metadata transaction Data JSON.

• Public folders must have the following content type Content-Type: "<application/json>"

• If the folder is private

  • Its Cipher tag must be filled out with the respective encryption algorithm (currently AES256-GCM)

  • Its Cipher-IV tag must be filled out with the generated Initialization Vector for the private folder.

  • It must have the following content type Content-Type: "application/octet-stream"

  • The ArFS client must encrypt the Folder entity’s metadata JSON using the assigned Cipher and Cipher-IV
