Secure Peer-to-Peer communication

posted in #IT Security on the 12.11.2014

This project proposes a flexible and modular approach for existing peer-to-peer frameworks to enable a secure communication using well-established and proven protocols and algorithms. It introduces an interoperability layer where existing peer-to-peer frameworks and transport security protocols can be plugged in seamlessly and analyses the components of end-to-end security protocols. Finally a proof-of-concept application using the proposed framework is introduced which enables peers to establish secure connections with different types of identities. It can be found in the download area.

Proof-of-Concept Application

The download section contains three P2P Secure Communication Application packets. One common file, which includes all necessary libabries and two platform specific files, including the required JRE (Java 8 including JavaFX). All packets include two start scripts run-client1 and run-client2. run-client1 starts the master node and needs to be connected before run-client2 is executed. Further details to the application can be found in the report document.
