“…Bakos and Farkas [235], show this to be the case by implementing distributed computing, file sharing, content sharing and keyword search applications for smart phones. LightPeers [236] was developed as a platform for lightweight mobile pure P2P networking for student groups while outside a school building, thus supporting nomadic learning. Kellerer et al [237] proposed a P2P service platform that provides support for lookup and information distribution while ensuring reliability, controlability, bootstrapping and reputation management.…”

Online social networks, such as Facebook and twitter, are a growing phenomenon in today's world, with various platforms providing capabilities for individuals to collaborate through messaging and chatting as well as sharing of content such as videos and photos. Most, if not all, of these platforms are based on centralized computing systems, meaning that the control and management of the systems lies in the hand of one provider, which must be trusted to treat the data and communication traces securely. While users aim for privacy and data sovereignty, often the providers aim to monetize the data they store. Even, federated privately run social networks require a few enthusiasts that serve the community and have, through that, access to the data they manage. As a zero-trust alternative, peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies promise networks that are self organizing and secure-by-design, in which the final data sovereignty lies at the corresponding user. Such networks support endto-end communication, uncompromising access control, anonymity and resilience against censorship and massive data leaks through misused trust. The goals of this survey are three-fold. Firstly, the survey elaborates the properties of P2P-based online social networks and defines the requirements for such (zero-trust) platforms. Secondly, it elaborates on the building blocks for P2P frameworks that allow the creation of such sophisticated and demanding applications, such as user/identity management, reliable data storage, secure communication, access control and general-purpose extensibility, features that are not addressed in other P2P surveys. As a third point, it gives an overview of proposed P2P-based online social network applications, frameworks and architectures. In specific, it explores the technical details, inter-dependencies and maturity of the available solutions.

Nowadays mobile users carry a huge amount of information inside their devices (mobile phones, ipods, PDAs, etc.). Actually, digital contents are not only carried but created on the road using mobile devices equipped with cameras, audio and video recorders, location systems, etc. Nevertheless, only the P2P-based systems, which work well only in wired networks, are able to easily share these contents among users. In this paper we propose a technological platform which makes simple and flexible the development of file-sharing applications among mobile users. The proposed platform makes use of existing wireless technologies available in an increasing number of mobile devices. A realistic application scenario, called Ateneonfly, will be described in detail, showing the main characteristics and novelty of the system proposed.
