A method of storing data from a first node on a peer-to-peer network. The method includes creating a public and private key pair from a data item, determining a hash value for the public key, assigning the hash value as a user identifier for the user of the node, and storing the public key within a distributed hash table of the network. The user identifier corresponds to the key for the public key within the distributed hash table. The method includes the step of digitally signing the user identifier using the created private key.
