Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing strong resource identification. When a resource is created, saved, or re-based, a cryptographic key pair with the resource. A public key of the cryptographic key pair may be used as a unique identifier. Information about the resource, such as the name of the resource and its actual location may be stored in an index based upon the resource's public key. Sharing the resource with other devices may comprise sending the resource's key, as opposed to information about the resource's actual location, to one or more recipient device.
