title = "A secure peer-to-peer backup system",
abstract = "A peer-to-peer (P2P) backup system enables users to save a copy of their data in the free disk space of other peers in order to restore them later in case of hard disk crash, or handling errors⋯ In this paper, we present a new peer-to-peer backup system implemented in the « DisPairSe » project and we concentrate on the security of such a system. Indeed, we provide mechanisms to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data stored in the P2P network while respecting the anonymity of users. We also propose a solution to encourage peers to contribute to the backup system, to banish the selfish behaviour of a few peers and to give access to authorized nodes only. These solutions are based on the definition of a third trust party in charge of controlling the rights and the behaviour of peers.",
