Abstract:

The phenomenon of online social networks reaches millions of users in the Internet nowadays. In these, users present themselves, their interests and their social links which they use to interact with other users. We present in this paper LifeSocial.KOM, a p2p-based platform for secure online social networks which provides the functionality of common online social networks in a totally distributed and secure manner. It is plugin-based, thus extendible in its functionality, providing secure communication and access-controlled storage as well as monitored quality of service, addressing the needs of both, users and system providers. The platform operates solely on the resources of the users, eliminating the concentration of crucial operational costs for one provider. In a testbed evaluation, we show the feasibility of the approach and point out the potential of the p2p paradigm in the field of online social networks.
