1. Harnessing the power of Peer-to-Peer technology to create a secure and low-cost distributed Filing System Pablo www. Carballude.es González

2. Do we have a problem?

3. How do we work?  Central servers (Saturation)  High capacity networks (Expensive)  Work from everywhere (High risk)  Remote access (Expensive)

4. Saturation Problem Central Server Client

5. Work from everywhere Central Server

6. Privacy issues  We don’t want to allow everyone on the Internet to get access to our company files.

7. Saturation Solution Central Server Client Server Client Server Client

8. Files can be shared to EVERYONE (public) or just with SOME OF THEM (private) This prototype is using GnuPG. Sharing files

9. Transferring files

10. To sum up  We’ve increased network speed by solving saturation.  Workers can access files from everywhere, safely.  We’ve saved money eliminating the expensive central server.  Communications can be established by unsecure (and cheap) channels, because all the information would be encrypted.
