We provide Tor-like privacy protection for the most demanding class of
Internet traffic: HD-quality video streams. To date, no viable solution has ever been presented for privacy-enhanced streaming. The challenge is to scale to one billion users, the current usage level of Youtube.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Youtube tracks what you like, when you view it, where you watch it and what your friends are viewing. Scaling privacy-enhancing technology while retaining security has proving to be insurmountable.
Many proposals exists, but no system has any significant usage (e.g. 1+ million users) or has even been fully implemented. We present the first functional fully self-organising darknet for HD-quality video streaming. The key building block is our BarterCast
reputation system, indicating which users help others by relaying their encrypted traffic. Our darknet, called Tribler, evolved over a period of nine years, has a thriving user community, comes with proper unit tests, coding tutorials, and is designed to be
fault-tolerant by not relying on any central server, tracker or website.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Biography: </span>
</b><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Dr. ir. J.A. Pouwelse is an associate professor at Delft University of Technology, specialized in self-organizing systems and privacy-enhancing technology. His research group conducts experimental research in
the field of self-organizing systems, reputation systems, crowdsourcing, onion routing and peer-to-peer technology. The methodology of the group is proving the validity of novel scientific ideas with thousands of real-world Internet users. Our Tribler software
is installed by 1.6 million users, it serves as a living laboratory and testing ground for next-generation self-organizing systems. Previously Dr. Pouwelse delivered a statement for the FTC in Washington, was a visiting scientist at MIT, and spent several
summers at Harvard to study mechanisms for cooperation.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
