Turtle F2F

Turtle F2F is a free anonymous project of network of Pair to par being developed by the free Université of Amsterdam with the professor Andrew Tanenbaum. It makes it possible users to divide files and to communicate differently without fear of legal sanctions or censure. The Anonymat is guaranteed by two articles of research provided in “the external bonds” below.

Technically, the tortoise is a network of the type Ami to friend - a special type of network of Pair to par in which all your communication goes only to your friends, and then with their friends, and so on, with the final destination. The fundamental idea behind the tortoise is to build a network of anonymous P2P on preexistent reports/ratios of confidence among users of tortoise.

With the difference in the existing networks of P2P, the tortoise does not let arbitrary nodes connect and exchange information. Instead of that, each user establishes channels authenticated with a limited number of other nodes ordered by people with whom it or it makes confidence (friends). In the network tortoise, the questions and the results move node in node.

The bottom line is that information is only exchanged between the people who trust each other and is always quantified. Consequently, a spy or an adversary does not have any manner of determining which is petitioning/supplier of information. Being given this design, a network of tortoise offers a certain number of useful properties of safety, such as damage confined in the event of compromise of node, and resistance against the attacks of Denial-of-service.
