Abstract

Current social networks are widespread used all over the world. And many users pay more and more attentions on how to protect their privacy in social networks. Traditional social networks based on client/server architecture cannot protect users' private information because the operator is untrusted. We propose a P2P architecture for social networking, called Mailbook. Mailbook uses the email services and OpenDHT to share users' data and adopts dispersed algorithm for improving system's security and practicability. By introducing the email services in this scheme we can promote the network's availability and reduce the peer's overhead significantly.
