Measuring Freenet in the Wild: Censorship-Resilience under Observation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Freenet, a fully decentralized publication system designed for censorship-resistant communication, exhibits long delays and low success rates for finding and retrieving content. In order to improve its performance, an in-depth understanding of the deployed system is required. Therefore, we performed an extensive measurement study accompanied by a code analysis to identify bottlenecks of the existing algorithms and obtained a realistic user model for the improvement and evaluation of new algorithms. Our results show that 1) the current topology control mechanisms are suboptimal for routing and 2) Freenet is used by several tens of thousands of users who exhibit uncharacteristically long online times in comparison to other P2P systems.

Measuring the Resilience of Gardens in Yazd
Over the past decades, the horizontal growth of cities has led to the integration of rural-garden areas within the parent city. This phenomenon is more serious in the arid areas of Iran because of the limited networks of water supply (Qanat) and the proximity of settlements around this network and has caused the destruction of the gardens of these urban textures that are rural-based. This resea...
متن کاملLinear Wavelet-Based Estimation for Derivative of a Density under Random Censorship
In this paper we consider estimation of the derivative of a density based on wavelets methods using randomly right censored data. We extend the results regarding the asymptotic convergence rates due to Prakasa Rao (1996) and Chaubey et al. (2008) under random censorship model. Our treatment is facilitated by results of Stute (1995) and Li (2003) that enable us in demonstrating that the same con...
متن کاملTorFlow: Tor Network Analysis
The Tor Network is a low-latency anonymity, privacy, and censorship resistance network whose servers are run by volunteers around the Internet. This distribution of trust creates resilience in the face of compromise and censorship; but it also creates performance, security, and usability issues. The TorFlow suite attempts to address this by providing a library and associated tools for measuring...

The growth of censorship and erosion of privacy on the Internet increasingly threatens freedom of expression in the digital age. Personal information flows are becoming subject to pervasive monitoring and surveillance, and various state and corporate actors are trying to block access to controversial information and even destroy certain materials altogether. Recent incidents such as the publica...
