	Anonymous P2P - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An anonymous P2P computer network is a particular type of peer-to-peer network in which the users and their nodes are pseudonymous by default.
		The term 'anonymous P2P' is somewhat of a misnomer.
		Anonymous P2P may be used to distribute the network load to more efficiently download something like a new free software release.

	Got Root : Anonymous P2P
		At this point, military grade anonymity is not available for p2p, but there ares some promising technologies that can provide protection against basic structured threats, such as lawsuits and non-governmental attackers.
		Regardless of the current shortcomings of Anonymous P2P clients, the use of technologies to anonymize P2P may be the "killer app" for anonymous technologies.
		Anonymous meshes benefit from large communities of users (anonymity of the crowd), and the P2P community is possibly one of the largest "crowds" on the Internet (some estimates put Bit Torrent at 1/3 of all the traffic on the Internet at the end of 2004).

		Anonymously publish your latest controversial novel, and allow others to give their honest feedback and suggestions.
		Anonymously retrieve files when you don't want others to simply confirm what you retrieved by looking at a network log.
		BrainTech is aware of concerns that anonymous peer-to-peer networking technology might possibly attract some users who hope to trade unauthorized data under the veil of anonymity.

		Therefore, anonymous file transfers are achieved without any significant bandwidth overhead because only the ACK packets get routed through a proxy; the file's data transfer itself is direct.
		P.S. "anonymous" is not the exact word and it is only part of the project, and not even significant part.
		Anonymity combined with speed is a very desirable feature, and would be a very strong selling point.

		It's the folks who are working on Mute-Net a p2p system which protects the privacy of the filesharing members.
		What we need is somebody to copy the UI from a few the more popular commercial p2p networks, make a catchy end user name, and a website with lots of end-user help and hand holding.

	P2P and File Sharing Programs for Staff
		The use of P2P is an escalating technology and legal issue between Internet users and copyright owners such as recording artists and the motion picture industry.
		P2P and anonymous file sharing programs on your computer can inadvertently allow access to your entire computer.
		P2P file sharing programs have some legitimate uses for certain jobs or research, therefore the University does not ban P2P programs from its network.

		Slyck spoke to Wendy Seltzerof the EFF who cautioned that “if the RIAA wins, it will be very difficult to assure privacy or anonymity on the most common P2P networks,” She said that she expected much greater demand for P2P software that protects your ID as these threats grow larger.
		One of the most fascinating projects related to p2p anonymity in development is EathStation 5.
		FileTopia has been on the P2P scene for some time and key to their features is protection of your IP address.

	ONLamp.com: Anonymous, Open Source P2P with MUTE
		MUTE uses a variable number of intermediary nodes for each transfer, with the network topology dictating how long each transfer chain is. No matter how many nodes in a transfer chain are controlled by the adversary, the adversary can never be sure that it controls all of the nodes in the chain.
		A slow anonymous download may be more valuable than a fast download that could land you in court.
		Other P2P developers may be inspired by MUTE and start thinking about how to make P2P anonymous.

		While anonymity may come at the cost of speed and reliability, this text will attempt to propose a system which minimizes these shortcomings, while providing a completely secure foundation for the sharing of information.
		This would not compromise anonymity since the client would not know the identity key of the client's - just their IP address (which would likely need to be listed in some form of directory along with their network key to allow connection to the network in the first place).
		Because users can be positively identified on the network, while maintaining their anonymity, we can envision quite a few methods of creating and maintaining lists of known 'quality' file providers, as well as various systems to rank good file sharers.

		I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate.
		Anonymity is not a boolean - we are not trying to make something "perfectly anonymous", but instead are working at making attacks more and more expensive to mount.
		I2P alone is what could be called a "low latency mix network", and there are limits to the anonymity offered by such a system, but the applications on top of I2P, such as Syndie, I2P mail, and I2PSnark extend it to offer both additional functionality and protection.

	FT Deutschland - Next Generation P2P Networks Interview
		Rupert Scammell: Compared to other 'Net technologies, anonymous P2P nets are still very much in their infancy, although mainstream interest seems to be growing as some of the teething problems seen in the early anonymous network protocols and software get resolved.
		I think that one of the lessons learned early on when anonymous P2P nets began to be developed, was that performance decreased exponentially as additional layers of privacy and anonymity were implemented.
		Using the Napster example again, I doubt that we'd be seeing P2P nets that are even a fraction of their current size, had the earlier method of centralized sharing remained accessible.

		Thus, the very fact that they are designing this to be anonymous and advertising it as thus, directly or not they are condoning illegal file sharing.
		The transfer of anonymous ideas, though, is also a threat to the established order (i.e., government and the powerful).
		The uses for anonymous communication are too numerous to mention and to point to illegal file sharing of copyrighted material as a legit reason to outlaw it is like building a dam out of sand.

		From observing the creatures' behavior, he mapped out a networking method that functions similarly — essentially, a shared file is the food source, and clients on the network are the ants seeking the food.
		In other words, any system that relies on direct downloads is not anonymous, due to intrinsic properties of Internet routing.
		A MUTE network is very similar in form to a traditional P2P network: MUTE nodes connect to each other in a mesh network, with each node maintaining a small number of direct links to neighbor nodes.

		Anonymously back up files you don't want to have sitting around on your computer (coming soon).
		This has since been explored in many p2p clients, but I am still interested in seeing how something like this works in an anonymous environment.
		So, our mid-term goal is to provide a decent anon p2p client, with decent content control tools, that stays on the right side of the law, that users find useful.

		Many folks currently use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks to share nearly everything that they possibly have on their computers.
		Despite the bad press that P2P networks get, they are very effective at bypassing the tightly controlled and restrictive channels that are created by businesses and mega corporations.
		Aside from avoiding censorship and complete control, the concept of a P2P news service offers the ability to make a wider variety of news available and not necessarily cover stories that always go "where the money is".

		However, exposing query content does not break anonymity as long as the identity of the query sender or query receiver is not exposed.
		P2P messages are used for peer registration and connection establishment while file sharing messages mainly deal with anonymous file publishing, file searching, and file retrieval.
		Additionally, APTPFS anonymous content publishing allows the publisher to plausibly deny that the content originated from him or her [5] [3].

		Many of them also doubted that you could have a truly anonymous P2P network, because the network in sending you the file has to know where the file is and where you are.

		P2P programming guru Ian Clarke has recently been touting the concept, and plans to layer a host of new anonymity features into an upcoming version of his Freenet file-sharing service.
		Clarke defended his anonymous file sharing app as a basic protection that people have the right to enjoy: "Everyone, including file swappers, should have the ability to communicate freely without someone looking over their shoulders.
