Promoting synergies for sustainability through peer-to-peer sharing: an analysis of drivers and barriers

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Ralph Hansmann

Peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing may foster sustainability synergistically by saving resources, reducing costs and promoting satisfaction of consumer needs and social connectivity. A survey of Swiss and Swedish consumers (N = 1522) was conducted to analyze drive ...

Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may share computation po ...

The Universal Gossip Fighter

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot, Anastasiia Kucherenko

The notion of adversary is a staple of distributed computing. An adversary typically models “hostile” assumptions about the underlying distributed environment, e.g., a network that can drop messages, an operating system that can delay processes or an attac ...

Moby: A Blackout-Resistant Anonymity Network for Mobile Devices

Bryan Alexander Ford, Antoine Rault

Internet blackouts are challenging environments for anonymity and censorship resistance. Existing popular anonymity networks (e.g., Freenet, I2P, Tor) rely on Internet connectivity to function, making them impracticable during such blackouts. In such a set ...

Blockchain-based Practical Multi-agent Secure Comparison and its Application in Auctions

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Sankarshan Damle

AI applications find widespread use in a variety of domains. For further acceptance, mostly when multiple agents interact with the system, we must aim to preserve the privacy of participants information in such applications. Towards this, the Yao’s Million ...

Formal Analysis of Distance Bounding with Secure Hardware

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A distance bounding (DB) protocol is a two-party authentication protocol between a prover and a verifier which is based on the distance between the prover and the verifier. It aims to defeat threats by malicious provers who try to convince that they are cl ...

Observer Placement for Source Localization: the Effect of Budgets and Transmission Variance

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

When an epidemic spreads in a network, a key question is where was its source, i.e., the node that started the epidemic. If we know the time at which various nodes were infected, we can attempt to use this information in order to identify the source. Howev ...

PriFi: A Low-Latency and Tracking-Resistant Protocol for Local-Area Anonymous Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Mahdi Zamani, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Ludovic Barman

Popular anonymity mechanisms such as Tor provide low communication latency but are vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks that can de-anonymize users. Moreover, known traffic-analysis-resistant techniques such as Dissent are impractical for use in latency- ...

Trustworthy Cloud Storage

Maxime Augier

The Cloud trend is an attempt to leverage economics of scale in the domain of computing resources. Unfortunately, this often means losing control of the lower levels of a computer system, and exposing users to new threat vectors. These threats may be signi ...

Trust-aware peer sampling: Performance and privacy tradeoffs

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Julien Michel Stainer

The ability to identify people that share one's own interests is one of the most interesting promises of the Web 2.0 driving user-centric applications such as recommendation systems or collaborative marketplaces. To be truly useful, however, information ab ...

Dissent in Numbers: Making Strong Anonymity Scale

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Current anonymous communication systems make a trade-off between weak anonymity among many nodes, via onion routing, and strong anonymity among few nodes, via DC-nets. We develop novel techniques in Dissent, a practical group anonymity system, to increase ...

On the Privacy of Anonymized Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Pedram Pedarsani

The proliferation of online social networks, and the concomitant accumulation of user data, give rise to hotly debated issues of privacy, security, and control. One specific challenge is the sharing or public release of anonymized data without accidentally ...

High Quality P2P Service Provisioning via Decentralized Trust Management

Trust management is essential to fostering cooperation and high quality service provisioning in several peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. Among those applications are customer-to-customer (C2C) trading sites and markets of services implemented on top of cen ...

Live Streaming with Gossip

Maxime Monod

Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures have emerged as a popular paradigm to support the dynamic and scalable nature of distributed systems. This is particularly relevant today, given the tremendous increase in the intensity of information exchanged over the Int ...

Leveraging Social Networks for Increased BitTorrent Robustness

Karl Aberer, Zoran Despotovic, Wojciech Galuba

In peer-to-peer content delivery systems, such as BitTorrent, there may exist nodes that are non-cooperative and do not contribute their upload bandwidth to the system while still downloading content from others. The current widely used countermeasures aga ...

Implementing a P2P Social Network - Early Experiences and Insights from PeerSoN

Anwitaman Datta, Sonja Buchegger

To address privacy concerns in Online Social Networks (OSNs), we propose to use a distributed, peer-to-peer approach coupled with encryption. To verify the feasibility of such an approach, we designed a two-tiered architecture and protocols that recreate t ...

Query-Driven Indexing for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Gleb Skobeltsyn

In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...

Query-Driven Indexing for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Gleb Skobeltsyn

We present a query-driven algorithm for the distributed indexing of large document collections within structured P2P networks. To cope with bandwidth consumption that has been identified as the major problem for the standard P2P approach with single term i ...

Towards Access Control Aware P2P Data Management Systems

Karl Aberer, Zoltán Miklós

2P data management systems provide a scalable alternative to centralized architectures. Their adoption, however, is limited by the lack of possibility to control the access to the resources stored in the system. We address this problem in the case of struc ...

AlvisP2P: Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval in a Structured P2P Network

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Fabius Klemm, Gleb Skobeltsyn

In this paper we present the AlvisP2P IR engine, which enables efficient retrieval with multi-keyword queries from a global document collection available in a P2P network. In such a network, each peer publishes its local index and invests a part of its loc ...
