Recent access control mechanism for IPFS file storage?
I recently learned that data transfer on IPFS is encrypted, but the content itself is not. This means that anyone with the CID can access the content. Has there been any recent development or release of an access control mechanism for files stored on IPFS? I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to restrict access to specific files or folders. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

1To ensure proper access control, you may consider implementing the lit protocol, which is a sponsor of this hackathon. This protocol offers a robust mechanism for managing access to files. Additionally, if you wish to prevent unauthorized access to your files via the content identifier (CID), it is advisable to encrypt the files before storing them. Encrypting the files will provide an extra layer of security and ensure that only authorized individuals can access the content.
