Supporting Wide Scale Secure P2P Search

Bert690 writes "We all know that it's possible to search the huge expanse of the public web with a single uniform interface (think Google). But what about searching over private files, such as those someone you might not even know has given you access to on some obscure file-sharing network? A recent paper looks at supporting uniform search of distributed private content. The goal is to do it without opening up those who share stuff to lawsuits or other privacy violations, or relying on a central trusted index host."

    Your dream hasn't been stolen, it has been enhanced because someone else took the time to write these things down for you in which you can expand upon them. This is the purpose of science, to share ideas so others can learn and improve upon them. So, compare this with what your ideas are and come up with something better and of course, implement it.
