Shadow walker

ShadowWalker (SW) a new low-latency P2P anonymous communication system, based on a random walk over a redundant structured topology. We base our design on shadows that redundantly check and certify neighbor information; these certifications enable nodes to perform random walks over the structured topology while avoiding route capture and other attacks.

How to abstract SW protocol to be used in any DHT and other P2P overlays? The problem SW solves is how to select anonymously a set of relayers in a P2P network where each node as a partial view of the network and adversaries can bias the routing tables.

ClaimChain

ClaimChain is a cryptographic primitive providing a privacy-preserving, authenticated and decentralized data store of claims. The paper shows how to use ClaimChain as a privacy-preserving decentralized public key distribution.
