论文摘要
在没有集中式服务的情况下，很难将智能手机通过互联网进行点对点交流。这些集中式服务通常位于云中，对于同行之间的经纪沟通是必需的，所有交流必须通过它们。这样做的原因是智能手机缺乏可公开的IP地址。另外，由于人们随身携带智能手机，智能手机通常会与一个网络断开并连接到另一个网络。智能手机也可以离线。此外，由可信赖的同行（或朋友）组成的网络需要已知同行，身份验证机制和安全通信渠道的目录。在本文中，我们提出了一个点对点中间件，该中间件无需集中服务提供这些功能。
Using smartphones for peer-to-peer communication over the Internet is difficult without the aid of centralized services. These centralized services, which usually reside in the cloud, are necessary for brokering communication between peers, and all communication must pass through them. A reason for this is that smartphones lack publicly reachable IP addresses. Also, because people carry their smartphones with them, smartphones will often disconnect from one network and connect to another. Smartphones can also go offline. Additionally, a network of trusted peers (or friends) requires a directory of known peers, authentication mechanisms, and secure communication channels. In this paper, we propose a peer-to-peer middleware that provides these features without the need for centralized services.
