ReClaim - A Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Social Network

Explore a presentation on ReClaim, a privacy-preserving decentralized social network, delivered at FOCI '14 by researchers from Delft University of Technology. Learn about the innovative approach to addressing privacy concerns in online social networks through decentralization and homomorphic encryption. Discover how ReClaim builds a semantic network connecting friends and friends-of-friends while maintaining privacy. Understand the system's ability to handle excessive churn, overcome NAT firewalls, and enable asynchronous communication. Examine the proof-of-concept implementation and its performance in extensive emulations, demonstrating rapid connection establishment among peers in a large network.
