Privacy-Preserving Filesharing Track: Testnet v0.3 §

1. Anonymous Providers §

FURPS: Serving Frontends, Modules, and Files in a Privacy-Preserving Fashion

1. [S1]: Neither the identity of publishers nor that of downloaders should be revealed to other participants; i.e., we want full publisher and downloader unlinkability. This includes queries.

Anonymous downloads gave us unlinkability for downloads, but providers are still exposed. This deliverable closes that gap by making providers anonymous as well. This will likely be based on some variation of techniques seen in Tribler¹, but adapted for mixnets.

Once this is in place, Logos Storage should be able to provide fully anonymous filesharing.
