What is Freenet?

Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information of all kinds. Freenet is:

Cos'è Freenet?

Freenet è un network peer-to-peer su larga scala, il quale condividendo la potenza dei computer che ne fanno parte in tutto il mondo, crea un grande deposito virtuale di informazione aperto a chiunque per pubblicare o consultare informazioni liberamente. Le caratteristiche di Freenet sono:
Changed:
<
<

  • Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control of the system.
  • Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing.
  • Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
  • Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal bandwidth usage regardless of load. Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n.

  • Alto tasso di sopravvivenza: Tutti i processi interni sono completamente anonimi e decentralizzati in tutto il network, rendendo virtualmente impossibile per un attacker distruggere informazioni o prendere il controllo del sistema.
  • Privato: Freenet rende estremamente difficile per chiunque osservare le informazioni che tu stai visionando, pubblicando, o immagazzinando.
  • Sicuro: Le informazioni immagazzinate in Freenet sono protette dalla crittografia forte contro manomissioni o falsificazioni.
  • Efficiente: Freenet copia e ridistribuisce le informazioni dinamicamente in base alla domanda per garantire un servizio efficiente ed il minimo uso di banda indipendentemente dal carico di lavoro. Infatti, Freenet generalmente richiede log(n) tempo per fornire il risultato in un network composto da n elementi.

    History

    Freenet is an enhanced Open Source implementation of the system described by Ian Clarke's 1999 paper "A distributed decentralized information storage and retrieval system" (see here). Work started on Freenet shortly after the publication of this paper in July 1999 by Clarke and a small number of volunteers. By March 2000 version 0.1 of Freenet was ready for release. Since March 2000 Freenet has been extensively reported on in the press, albeit primarily due to its implications for copyright rather than for its wider aim, namely freedom of communication.

    Freenet development continues at an increasingly breathless pace, releasing a new version almost every two weeks, each with significant performance and ease of use improvements. At the time of writing the 0.4 release, with major architectural, performance, and security improvements, is nearing completion.

    Applications

    The system provides a flexible and powerful infrastructure capable of supporting a wide range of applications, including:

    Storia

    Freenet è una implementazione Open Source potenziata del sistema descritto da Ian Clarke nel 1999 nel suo documento "A distributed decentralized information storage and retrieval system" (guarda qui). Il lavoro su Freenet cominciò subito dopo la pubblicazione di questo documento nel Luglio 1999 da Clarke ed un piccolo numero di volontari. A Marzo 2000 la versione 0.1 di Freenet era pronta per essere rilasciata. Sin dal Marzo 2000 Freenet è stata citata massicciamente dalla stampa, più a causa delle sue implicazioni nella vicenda del copyright che per il suo grande obbiettivo, la libertà di comunicazione.

    Lo sviluppo di Freenet continua ad un ritmo sempre più crescente ed affannoso, rilasciando una nuova versione almeno ogni due settimane, ognuna con signifacanti migliorie sotto il profilo della facilità d'uso e quello della performance. In questo momento la scrittura della versione 0.4, con grossi cambiamenti sull'architettura di sistema, sulla sicurezza e sulle performance,è vicina al completamento.

    Applicazioni

    Il sistema fornisce una flessibile e potente infrastruttura capace di supportare una grande gamma di utilizzi, come:

  • Uncensorable dissemination of controversial information: Freenet protects freedom of speech by enabling anonymous and uncensorable publication of material ranging from grassroots alternative journalism to banned exposes like Peter (Spycatcher) Wright's and David Shayler's revelations about MI5.
  • Efficient distribution of high-bandwidth content: Freenet's adaptive caching and mirroring is being used to distribute Debian Linux software updates and to combat the Slashdot effect.
  • Universal personal publishing: Freenet enables anyone to have a website, without space restrictions or compulsory advertising, even if you don't own a computer.

  • La disseminazione incensurabile di informazioni controverse: Freenet protegge la libertà di parola permettendo la publicazione anonima e incensurabile di materiale che varia dal giornalismo alternativo di base alle denuncie interdette come quelle di Peter (Spycatcher) Wright e David Shayler su MI5.
  • Efficiente distribuzione di contenuti che necessitano di banda larga: l'adattività dei meccanismi di caching e mirroring che appartengono a Freenet è stata usata per distribuire gli update del software Debian e per combattere l'effetto Slashdot.
  • Pubblicazioni personali universali: Freenet permette a chiunque di avere un sito web, senza restrizioni di spazio o pubblicità obbligatoria, sempre che tu abbia un computer.

    Freenet è un sistema aperto e democratico che non può essere controllato da nessuna persona, nemmeno dal suo creatore. Fu originariamente ideato da Ian Clarke ed è stato implementato nel modello open-source da molti volontari.
