OneSwarm.cs.washington.edu – The Evolution Of P2P

OneSwarm.cs.washington.eduIf for any reason you feel that your current P2P software is not that secure and are looking for safer alternatives, then a solution like the one being discussed right now might be what you are after.

One Swarm is a software application that makes for private P2P sharing.

Rather, it makes for sharing data in a context where it is difficult for an outsider to determine who is the receiver and who is the sender, since data is forwarded through many different intermediaries.

Several operating systems are already supported, with Mac OS and Windows leading the charge. For its part, both Linux 32 bit and Linux 64 bit are accounted for.

Note, however, that this software is still being developed, and that you should not rely on it if strong anonymity is your one concern as many rough spots still are to be ironed. Also, bear in mind that the source code can be procured in the downloads section, so that if you feel there is a contribution you can make don’t think twice and go ahead.

OneSwarm.cs.washington.edu In Their Own Words

“OneSwarm is a new P2P data sharing application we’re building to provide users with explicit control over their privacy by enabling fine-grained control over how data is shared. Instead of sharing data indiscriminately, data shared with OneSwarm can be made public, it can be shared with friends, shared with some friends but not others, and so forth. We call this friend-to-friend (F2F) data sharing.”
