Abstract :
Personal storage is a mainstream service used by millions of users. Among the existing alternatives, Friend-to-Friend (F2F) systems are aimed to leverage a secure and private off-site storage service. However, the specific characteristics of these systems (reduced node degree, correlated availabilities) represent a hard obstacle to their performance. We present FriendBox: a hybrid F2F personal storage system that combines resources of trusted friends with Cloud storage for improving the service quality achievable by pure F2F systems.
