Peer-to-peer database systems (P2PDBs) aim at providing database services with node autonomy, high availability and loose coupling between participating nodes by building the DBMS...
In this paper we explore the minimal system requirements to implement unreliable failure detectors. We first consider systems formed by lossy asynchronous and eventually timely l...
We analyze information leaks in the lookup mechanisms of structured peer-to-peer anonymous communication systems and how these leaks can be used to compromise anonymity. We show t...
File swarming (or file sharing) is one of the most important applications in P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a stochastic framework to analyze a file swarming system und...
