Re-Imagining Linux Platforms to Meet the Needs of Cloud Service Providers
"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

have to address. This is one example, a starting point, that people
can use."
