Abstract

A key weakness of most existing P2P systems is the lack of anonymity. Without anonymity, it is possible for third parties to identify the participants involved. There are three basic anonymity requirements in P2P system. First, anonymous P2P system should make it impossible for third parties to identify the participants involved. Second, anonymous P2P system should guarantee that only the content receiver knows the content. Third, anonymous P2P system should allow the content publisher to plausibly deny that the content originated from him or her. Inside this paper, various techniques of P2P networking and the design with issues associated with implementation are discussed.
