    v1 v1  
     1The "verifier id" is a tagged hash of the encrypted file to be uploaded.
     2
     3It is used as an index to the StorageServer service on each peer. Each StorageServer holds zero or more shares for each file in objects called "buckets": the collection of these buckets is indexed by verifierid.

     5The same plaintext file can be encrypted in multiple ways (by changing the encryption key): each different resulting crypttext will have a different verifierid. As a result there is a one-to-many mapping from FileId to VerifierId.
