Friends Radar: Towards a Private P2P Location Sharing Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new approach to live location sharing among a group of friends that does not rely on a central server as a hub for exchanging locations messages, but is done in a peer-topeer manner by pushing selective location updates via XMPP messages. That is, only those contacts speci cally authorized by users will be noti ed of location changes via push messages, but no third-party service is involved in processing these locations. We describe an initial implementation called Friends Radar, and discuss the associated trade-o s between privacy and resource consumption.

P2PShare: a Social-based P2P Data Sharing System
P2PShare is a P2P system for large-scale probabilistic data sharing that leverages content-based and expert-based recommendation. It is designed to manage probabilistic and deterministic data in P2P environments. It provides a flexible environment for integration of heterogeneous sources, and takes into account the social based aspects to discover high quality results for queries by privileging...
متن کاملP2Prec: a Recommendation Service for P2P Content Sharing Systems
In this paper, we propose P2Prec, a recommendation service for P2P content sharing systems that exploits users’ social data. The key idea is to recommend to a user high quality documents in a specific topic using ratings of friends (or friends of friends) who are expert in that topic. To manage users’ social data, we rely on Friend-Of-A-Friend (FOAF) descriptions. P2Prec has a h...
متن کاملTowards a New Privacy-Aware Location Sharing Platform
Location-based social networking services are becoming increasingly popular among the multitude of mobile applications. The new location sharing functionalities made possible by GPS-based mobile phones, however, also raise two main privacy issues: users are typically limited to a only few built-in options that do not support fine-granular or even changing privacy preferences, and location data ...
متن کاملPeerBus: A Middleware Framework towards Interoperability among P2P Data Sharing Systems
Current P2P application is usually built on a specific P2P platform. Different P2P applications with similar functions cannot directly share the data and services with one another. Aiming at this problem, we propose PeerBus, a P2P middleware framework, to enable interoperability among different P2P data sharing platforms. To achieve the goal, we develop a set of common operations for providing ...
متن کاملTribler: A Social-Based Peer-to-Peer System
Most current P2P file-sharing systems treat their users as anonymous, unrelated entities, and completely disregard any social relationships between them. However, social phenomena such as friendship and the existence of communities of users with similar tastes or interests may well be exploited in such systems in order to increase their usability and performance. In this paper we present a nove...
