Communication between repositories is via HTTP. Remote repositories are identified by URL. You can also point a web browser at a repository and get human-readable status, history, and tracking information about the project. <h3>2.1 Identification Of Artifacts</h3> A particular version of a particular file is called an "artifact". Each artifact has a universally unique name which is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA1">SHA1</a> hash of the content of that file expressed as 40 characters of lower-case hexadecimal. Such a hash is referred to as the Artifact Identifier or Artifact ID for the artifact. The SHA1 algorithm is created with the purpose of providing a highly forgery-resistant identifier for a file. Given any file it is simple to find the artifact ID for that file. But given a artifact ID it is computationally intractable to generate a file that will have that Artifact ID. Artifact IDs look something like this: <blockquote><b> 6089f0b563a9db0a6d90682fe47fd7161ff867c8<br> 59712614a1b3ccfd84078a37fa5b606e28434326<br> 19dbf73078be9779edd6a0156195e610f81c94f9<br> |

Each artifact has a universally unique name which is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA1">SHA1</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA3">SHA3-256</a> hash of the content of that file expressed as either 40 or 64 characters of lower-case hexadecimal. (See the [./hashpolicy.wiki|hash policy document] for information on which algorithm is used, when.) Such a hash is referred to as the Artifact ID. These hash algorithms were created with Fossil's purpose in mind: to provide a highly forgery-resistant identifier for a blob of data, such as a file. Given any file, it is simple to find the artifact ID for that file. But given an artifact ID, it is computationally intractable to generate a file that will have that same artifact ID. Artifact IDs look something like this: <blockquote><b> 6089f0b563a9db0a6d90682fe47fd7161ff867c8<br> 59712614a1b3ccfd84078a37fa5b606e28434326<br> 19dbf73078be9779edd6a0156195e610f81c94f9<br> |
