Achieving Efficient Conjunctive Keyword Searches over Encrypted Data (2005, background): “Remote and untrusted storage systems [21,14,13] allow clients with limited resources to store and distribute large amounts of data at low cost.”
Survey of research towards robust peer-to-peer networks: Search methods (2006, background): “While the Freenet designers considered this as evidence that the system is ''surprisingly robust against quite large failures'' [71], the same datapoint may well be outside meaningful operating bounds.”
Hashcash - A Denial of Service Counter-Measure (2002, methodology): “No deployment but the analogous client-puzzle system was implemented with TLS in [13] " hashcash throttling of DoS publication floods in anonymous publication systems such as Freenet [14], Publius [15], Tangler [16], " hashcash throttling of service requests in the cryptographic Self-certifying File”
Wide-area cooperative storage with CFS (2001, methodology): “tella [11], and Freenet [6]) demonstrate the benefits of coop erative storage and serving: fault tolerance, load balance, and the ability to harness idle storage and network resources.”
Reclaiming space from duplicate files in a serverless distributed file system (2002, methodology): “The resulting increase in available space could benefit server-based distributed file systems such as AFS [20] and Ficus [19], serverless distributed file systems such as xFS [2] and Frangipani [37], content publishing systems such as Publius [38] and Freenet [12], and archival storage systems such ”
Query-based sampling of text databases (2001, background): “FreeNet [Clarke et al. 2000] is a peer-to-peer search algorithm that passes queries from node to node in a network until either a search horizon is reached or the query is satisfied.”
Scalable and efficient provable data possession (2008, background): “Consider, for example, the Freenet network [10], or the Cooperative Internet Backup Scheme [24].”
Dissent in Numbers: Making Strong Anonymity Scale (2012, neutral): “ability of these strong anonymity techniques by at least two orders of magnitude, substantially narrowing the gap compared with relaying approaches [18, 21, 26, 38, 42].”
Safebook: A privacy-preserving online social network leveraging on real-life trust (2009, background): “Although not designed originally for the purpose of social networking, darknets and related P2P systems [13], [14], [15] aim at anonymous communication through hop-by-hop encryption among trusted users, as in Safebook.”
Secure data deduplication (2008, background): “Data encryption also provides the storage host with a level of plausible deniability; as there is no clear owner, a node’s operator can claim that they have no knowledge about the plain-text data stored on their node [9].”
Pastry: Scalable, Decentralized Object Location, and Routing for Large-Scale Peer-to-Peer Systems (2001, methodology): “There are currently many projects aimed at constructing peer-to-peer applications and understanding more of the issues and requirements of such applications and systems [1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 15].”
