PEER-TO-PEER CONFIDENTIALITY IN SOCIAL APPLICATIONS
Ankit,Abhishek Deshwal
Abstract
Despite the massive success of social networking among its users, social networking tools somehow manage to make it to the news headlines that are concerned with a users private and personal data. Due to this, various applications and networks have come up with decentralized alternatives to ensure the complete safety of a user data, P2P is one such promising alternative that aims to provide confidentiality to the data. Recent P2P developments such as encryption and improved anonymity ensures safeguarding of the data and protects it from any sort of intentional or unintentional exploitation. With the help of encryption, anonymity, fine-grained privacy settings with matching access controls, and encouraging user awareness P2P is capable of yielding the most secure usage experience present till date.
