Information Leaks in Structured Peer-to-Peer Anonymous Communication Systems

Private Information Retrieval in an Anonymous Peer-to-Peer Environment

Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocols enable a client to access data from a server without revealing what data was accessed. The study of Computational Private Information Retrieval (CPIR) protocols, an area of PIR protocols focusing on computational security, has been a recently reinvigorated area of focus in the study of cryptography. However, CPIR protocols still have not been utiliz...

Peer-to-Peer Information Systems

P2P is an innovative type of technology that is both flexible and scalable while providing communication autonomy throughout the system. Within this paper the P2P environment is examined with a broad ranging evolutionary procedure that addresses: previous work within the P2P field, current P2P Information System conceptual design and finally the potential of integrating P2P and workflow technol...

Information Retrieval in Peer to Peer Systems

Information Retrieval in Peer-to-Peer Systems

Applying information retrieval techniques in peer-to-peer infrastructures is a demanding challenge. Peer-to-peer systems are already being used for a vast number of applications in content exchange, but mostly searching is done by simple keyword lookups. In contrast, information Retrieval techniques vastly differ from retrieval in pure data management systems. Information retrieval means that n...
