The initially unrestricted host-to-host communication model provided by the Internet Protocol has deteriorated due to political and technical changes caused by Internet growth. [] Key Method We present the details of an implementation of a transport service based on SMTP. Small-scale benchmarks are used to compare transport services over UDP, TCP, and SMTP.

Machine Learning for Bandwidth Management in Decentralized Networks
TLDR
This thesis explores the feasibility of using machine learning to improve the quality of the transport selection and resource allocation over current approaches, and presents a design how reinforcement learning can be used and adapted to the given problem domain.
Query Forwarding Algorithm Supporting Initiator Anonymity in GNUnet
TLDR
An alternative routing protocol applicable in GNUnet is proposed, which is resistant to Kugler's shortcut attacks and points out traceability of initiator.

  • Computer Science
    2011 First SysSec Workshop
  • 2011
TLDR
The current research and future plans of the Free Secure Network Systems Group at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen are introduced and some insight into the development process and architecture of the GNU net P2P framework is provided.
Methods for secure decentralized routing in open networks
TLDR
The study and improvement of secure, decentralized, robust routing algorithms for open networks including ad-hoc networks and peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks and a serious vulnerability in the Tor protocol was discovered which allowed us to use a DoS attack to reduce the anonymity of the users of this extant anonymizing P2P network.
Sauvegarde coopérative entre pairs pour dispositifs mobiles
TLDR
The features of a collaborative backup service for mobile devices, which relies on collaboration among peers in order to provide data backup and recovery, and the expected dependability properties are presented.
Autonomous NAT Traversal
TLDR
This paper presents how the method for autonomous NAT traversal is supposed to work in theory, discusses some possible variations, introduces various concrete implementations of the proposed approach and evaluates empirical results of a measurement study designed to evaluate the efficacy of the idea in practice.
Secure Communication over Diverse Transports
This paper describes BTP, a protocol that ensures the confide ntiality, integrity, authenticity and forward secrecy of commun ication over diverse underlying transports, from low-latency, bid…
Secure communication over diverse transports: [short paper]
TLDR
BTP is designed for use in censorship-resistant delay-tolerant overlays that operate over heterogeneous mixtures of underlying transports, by providing consistent security properties for a very wide range of transports, and simplifies the design and implementation of such overlays.
How to achieve blocking resistance for existing systems enabling anonymous web surfing
TLDR
A blocking resistant, practical and usable system for anonymous web surfing that tries to provide as much reachability and availability as possible, even to users in countries where the free flow of information is legally, organizationally and physically restricted.
gap - Practical Anonymous Networking
This paper describes how anonymity is achieved in gnunet, a framework for anonymous distributed and secure networking.

TLDR
The main idea advocated in this paper is that simple cryptographic techniques are sufficient to engineer an efficient data encoding that can make it significantly harder to selectively censor information.
