Intel is attempting to add security to the file-swapping technology made popular by music-sharing service Napster, by publishing an open source library of tools. Called the Peer-to-Peer Trusted Library, the tools enable application developers to add trusted elements such as digital certificates, peer authentication, secure storage, public key encryption and digital signatures to their file-swapping software. Bob Knighten, Intel's peer-to-peer evangelist, said: "Security is one of the primary issues that the whole peer-to-peer thing will have to address. This is one example, a starting point, that people can use." In peer-to-peer networking, individual computers talk directly to each other to share files and tasks, instead of having to go through a centralised network. Intel hopes the availability of the trusted open source library would stimulate innovation in peer-to-peer security. The link for this article located at vnunet is no longer available. . Intel's new initiative enhances security in file-sharing with its Peer-to-Peer Trusted Library, providing developers tools for safe communications and data exchange. Peer-to-Peer Trusted Library, file-swapping security, secure file sharing. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
