Traditional hashing requires reading every single byte of a file to calculate the sum. For a 1TB file, that's a massive latency hit. VFP is different.
Adaptive Sizing
The VFP protocol uses adaptive sizing to generate signatures. We can verify the integrity of a massive file by analyzing its structural "keyframes," allowing for near-instant validation without the need for a full byte-by-byte read. This makes it ideal for real-time monitoring of large-scale cloud archives.
