Title Providing Secure Services in Peer-to-Peer Communications Networks with Central Security Servers |
Abstract:
Various applications based on Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) technology have being gaining attentions for their innovative
approaches to providing value-added services. At the same time, the trend
has raised many new research topics about how to provide the secure
services inside new distributed P2P environments.
This talk outlines a generic architecture for providing secure information
in P2P IP Networks. Some secure techniques and components are shown to
guarantee privacy of various information sharing services. Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) is demonstrated to provide the basic operations
for this architecture. Some open research topics are discussed for further
studies.
