Design and implement a Rust trait and module for publishing encrypted uptime/downtime records to the chosen distributed backend (e.g., IPFS or libp2p DHT). The interface should:
- Accept already-encrypted records as input (struct
EncryptedRecord).
- Upload (publish) records to the network, returning a unique content-addressed hash (CID).
- Support metadata for lookup (e.g., tags, timestamps, node ID).
- Abstract over specific backends for easy swapping (e.g., IPFS, libp2p DHT).
- Include unit/integration tests using mock or local IPFS nodes.
Implementation Suggestions:
- Define a trait
DistributedStorage with async methods: publish, fetch, pin, unpin.
- Use crates:
ipfs-api, rust-libp2p, or rust-ipfs.
- Use
serde for serialization.
- Ensure all data remains encrypted in transit/storage.
