Abstract :
JXTA is a set of open protocols that enable the creation and deployment of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, allowing the execution of services in a distributed manner. Being a generic P2P middleware, it has slowly evolved in order to appeal a broad set of different applications. Part of this evolution includes providing basic security capabilities in its protocols in order to achieve some degree of message privacy and authentication. However, under some contexts, more advanced security requirements should be met, such as anonymity. In this work, we propose how to adapt JXTA messaging so that services may be anonymously accessed, by taking advantage of JXTA´s idiosyncracies and capabilities, in a manner that is completely invisible to the existing protocols.
