论文摘要
在过去的十年中，我们目睹了互联网越来越集中在少数巨型技术公司的手中，这些公司控制着许多最受欢迎的应用程序以及他们在平台上托管的内容。此外，在当今大多数情况下，通常通过本地互联网服务提供商（ISP）提供互联网的访问。不同司法管辖区的政府可能会对这些技术公司和ISP施加压力，以强制其公民对互联网使用的限制，例如阻止访问某些站点和/或内容。在本文中，我们提出了一种有希望的新方法来规避其中一些问题。我们的分散网络（DWEB）提案利用网络网络连接基于社区的路由器。此外，使用Bblockchain技术对DWEB上的对象进行索引，该技术允许安全存储不变的对象参考，并对所服务用户的数据进行完整性检查。我们的DWEB设计也能够在网络分区期间运行，并且一旦恢复了连接性，就可以快速与较大的网络重新同步。
Over the past decade, we have witnessed the Internet becoming increasingly centralized in the hands of a small number of giant technology firms, that control many of the most popular applications and the content they host on their platforms. In addition, in the majority of instances today, access to the Internet is usually provided through local internet service providers (ISPs) in each country. Governments in different jurisdictions can exert pressure on these technology firms and ISPs to enforce restrictions on Internet usage by their citizens, such as the blocking access to certain sites and/or content. In this paper, we present a promising new approach to circumventing some of these issues. Our decentralized web (DWeb) proposal makes use of a mesh network to connect community based routers. In addition, objects on the DWeb are indexed using Bblockchain technology, which allows for secure storage of immutable object references, and integrity checking of the data being served to users. Our DWeb design is also capable of operating during network partitions, and is able to quickly re-synchronize with the larger network once connectivity has been restored.
