[Peertrust-discuss] Peertrust-Edutella-Integration

[Mathias F. <Mat...@gm...>]

Hi,

We, Marc Herrlich and I (Mathias Fiedler), are trying to integrate 
Peertrust into the P2P project Edutella (http://edutella.jxta.org), 
which uses JXTA for P2P services. First we built up an new service for 
sending and receiving our own messages, which will be used for Peertrust 
specific queries and answers. Until now there are 3 possibilities to 
send a message:
    - Broadcast a message through the Jxta ResovlerService. For now this 
is restricted to strings, is unsecure and limited in size.
    - Send a message through a Jxta Pipe to a specific Peer. Any Object 
can be sent and Pipes can be made secure.
    - Broadcast a message through Jxta Pipes. But it's expensive, 
because Pipes have to be esthablished to all recipients
   
Until now the code contains no Peertrust specific parts. The next step 
will be to integrate Peertrust code into the service, so a Edutella peer 
with this Peertrust Service can make use of Peertrust's capabilities.

Greets,
Mathias Fiedler
