We construct public-key systems that support comparison queries (x ≥ a) on encrypted data as well as more general queries such as subset queries (x ∈ S). These systems support...
Flooding is a fundamental building block of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. In this paper, we investigate techniques to improve the performance of flooding. In particular...
In this paper we examine the impact of the adopted playout policy on the overall performance of a P2P streaming system. It is argued and showed that adopting (popular) playout pol...
Abstract—Peer-to-peer storage systems aim to provide a reliable long-term storage at low cost. In such systems, peers fail continuously, hence, the necessity of self-repairing me...
