SAS-P2P - Secure Archive System P2P-Based with JXTA

Previous works have studied the characteristics and peculiarities of P2P networks, especially with regard to aspects of information security. Most work deals in some way, sharing resources, and in particular the storage of files. This work complements previous studies and adds new definitions relating to such systems. We developed a secure P2P storage system (SAS-P2P) using the JXTA platform, which uses standard X.509 digital certificates and PKCS#12, issued and managed by an infrastructure of public keys, also based on P2P technology. The information is stored in XML files in specially prepared, which facilitates the handling and interoperability between applications.
