PeerSoN DOSN System

A PeerSoN DOSN System is a Decentralized P2P-based Online Social Network that supports encryption and direct data exchange between users' devices.

• AKA: PeerSoN.
• Context:
  • It was first developed by Buchegger et al. (2009).
  • It can include the following DOSN's services:
    • data management by the users (partial);
    • 24/7 data availability (partial);
    • data transfer;
    • data encryption;
    • data caching (partial).
• Example(s):
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • DECENT DOSN,
  • Persona OSN,
  • SafeBook,
  • PrPl,
  • SlopPy,
  • SuperNova,
  • Vis-a-Vis.

  • QUOTE: The results of the comparison are summarized in Fig. 1. The solutions of the investigated concepts of PeerSoN (Buchegger et al., 2009), Priv.io (Zhang and Mislove, 2013), Safebook (Cutillo et al., 2011), and SuperNova (Sharma & Datta, 2012) are based on a peer-to-peer approach. The concepts PrPl (Seong et al., 2010), SlopPy (Gambs & Lolive, 2012), and Vis-à-Vis (Shakimov et al., 2011) are based on distributed applications and on server solutions as well as cloud solutions that are self-managed by the user. As a common ground of these concepts, all parties are expected to run and manage their own cloud system. The eight already mentioned systems will now be explained shortly and examined with regard to their currently unsolved problems.

  • QUOTE: The main properties of PeerSoN are encryption, decentralization, and direct data exchange. In a nutshel, encryption provides privacy for the users, and decentralization based on the use of a P2P infrastructure provides independence from OSN providers. Decentralization makes it easier to integrate direct data exchange between users’ devices into the system. Direct exchange allows users to use the system without constant Internet connectivity, leveraging real-life social networking and locality.
