Re: [tor-talk] Tor and P2P

Loads of links here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_P2P
Always a good read :) Part of me wants to see if one giant anonymous general purpose filesystem will ever come about... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems#Distributed_file_systems
A very interesting idea is/was the owner free filesystem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OFFSystem
I think this required the use of https to be fully secure, just a bit of extra setup for that is all.
Depending on ones individual threat model, I believe i2p could be sufficiently secure for file sharing purposes: http://www.i2p2.de/
They use it a lot for that. Admittedly I really should learn more about the full mechanics of this one.
I didn't make an academic comparison, but it looks like retroshare is quickly gaining more and more users: http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend-to-friend When I last looked briefly at this one a couple years back, the users were not necessarily anonymous to each other. It seemed to require users to know and/or trust one another. If that was the case, anonymous transport layer would have been required underneath it to match the level of anonymity the three projects I listed. Maybe they solved that since then? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
