Abstract

A system and method for efficient and private peer-to-peer file sharing consists of ascribing a uniquely identified and anonymous link (an “edgelink”) to any file or set of files on a peer computer. The link is registered with a publishing server along with continuously updated connectivity information about the peer without registering any identifying information about the file. A peer recipient is able to access the link, receive connectivity information about the publishing peer from the server, and then receive the file from the publishing peer without file content passing through the server, mediating any intermediary NAT devices without requiring any manual or automatic device reconfiguration.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention pertains to the field of electrical computers and digital processing systems and in particular file sharing systems and specifically a system and a method for anonymous addressing of content stored on computers at the edge of the network. This is coupled with a system and method for the private peer-to-peer exchange of anonymously addressed content.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONNetwork ArchitectureClient-Server

[0002] Client-server is a computing architecture which separates a client from a server, and is almost always implemented over a computer network. Each client or server connected to a network can also be referred to as a node. The most basic type of client-server architecture employs only two types of nodes: clients and servers. This type of architecture is sometimes referred to as two-tier. It allows devices to share files and resources.

[0003] Each instance of the client software can send data requests to one or more connected servers. In...
