QUIC, a UDP-based transport protocol, addresses several limitations of TCP by offering built-in encryption, stream multiplexing, and improved loss recovery. To extend these benefits to legacy TCP-based applications, this paper explores the…
In this work, we investigate the structure and evolution of a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment application. A unique aspect of the network under consideration is that the edges among nodes represent financial transactions among individuals who…
Konnektor is a connection protocol designed to solve the challenge of managing unique peers within distributed peer-to-peer networks. By prioritizing network integrity and efficiency, Konnektor offers a comprehensive solution that…
We talk of the internet as digital infrastructure; but we leave the building of rails and roads to the quasi-monopolistic platform providers. Decentralised architectures provide a number of advantages: They are potentially more inclusive…
Social applications mine user social graphs to improve performance in search, provide recommendations, allow resource sharing and increase data privacy. When such applications are implemented on a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture, the social…
Network attackers have increasingly resorted to proxy chains, VPNs, and anonymity networks to conceal their activities. To tackle this issue, past research has explored the applicability of traffic correlation techniques to perform attack…
For decentralised P2P networks, it is very important to have a mechanism in place that allows the nodes to control resource usage and prevent flooding and denial-of-service attacks with spam. In this paper, we discuss and compare the…
Virtual presence demands ultra-low latency, a factor that centralized architectures, by their nature, cannot minimize. Local peer-to-peer architectures offer a compelling alternative, but also pose unique challenges in terms of network…
Organizations increasingly need to collaborate by performing a computation on their combined dataset, while keeping their data hidden from each other. Certain kinds of collaboration, such as collaborative data analytics and AI, require a…
Peer to peer network architecture introduces many desired features including self-scalability that led to achieving higher efficiency rate than the traditional server-client architecture. This was contributed to the highly distributed…
In recent months there has been an increase in the popularity and public awareness of secure, cloudless file transfer systems. The aim of these services is to facilitate the secure transfer of files in a peer-to- peer (P2P) fashion over the…
Content dissemination networks are pervasive in todays Internet. Examples of content dissemination networks include peer-to-peer networks (P2P), content distribution networks (CDN) and information centric networks (ICN). In this paper, we…
Most of the peers accessing the services are under the assumption that the service accessed in a P2P network is utmost secured. By means of prevailing hard security mechanisms, security goals like authentication, authorization, privacy, non…
The proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocols is due to their efficient and scalable methods for data dissemination to numerous users. But many of these networks have no provisions to provide users with long term access to…
Modern computing requires efficient and dependable data transport. Current solutions like Bluetooth, SMS (Short Message Service), and Email have their restrictions on efficiency, file size, compatibility, and cost. In order to facilitate…
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have proved to be the most effective and popular file sharing applications in recent years. Previous studies mainly focus on the equal service and the differentiated service strategies when peers have no initial…
Payment channel networks (PCNs) are among the most promising solutions to the scalability issues in permissionless blockchains, by allowing parties to pay each other off-chain through a path of payment channels (PCs). However, routing…
Current networks more and more rely on virtualized middleboxes to flexibly provide security, protocol optimization, and policy compliance functionalities. As such, delivering these services requires that the traffic be steered through the…
Several distributed system paradigms utilize Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) to realize structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlays. DHT structures arise as the most commonly used organizations for peers that can efficiently perform crucial…
While sharing files in a peer-to-peer (P2P) system significantly increases both the speed of retrieving the contents and the robustness of the system, tracing the access of files is not straightforward, even in the case of private P2P…
