论文摘要
首先提出了分布式在线社交网络（DOSN）来解决隐私，安全性和可扩展性的问题。进行了大量研究，以提供可行的DOSN解决方案，这些解决方案能够与现有的集中OSN应用程序（例如Facebook，LinkedIn和Instagram）竞争。这项研究导致了使用点对点（P2P）网络作为可能的解决方案的出现，诸如LifeSocial.kom，Safebook，Peerson等几个OSN都基于该解决方案。在本文中，我们定义了P2P OSN的基本要求。然后，我们重新访问了最早的基于P2P的OSN之一LifeSocial.kom，现在称为Libresocial，它在过去几年中进化，以应对运行完全分散的社交网络的挑战。随着时间的流逝，已经在图书馆中纳入了一些基本的新技术，以提高功能。我们描述了库的体系结构和每个组件，并指出库库如何满足功能齐全的分布式OSN的基本要求。
Distributed online social networks (DOSNs) were first proposed to solve the problem of privacy, security and scalability. A significant amount of research was undertaken to offer viable DOSN solutions that were capable of competing with the existing centralized OSN applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. This research led to the emergence of the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks as a possible solution, upon which several OSNs such as LifeSocial.KOM, Safebook, PeerSoN among others were based. In this paper, we define the basic requirements for a P2P OSN. We then revisit one of the first P2P-based OSNs, LifeSocial.KOM, that is now called LibreSocial, which evolved in the past years to address the challenges of running a completely decentralized social network. Over the course of time, several essential new technologies have been incorporated within LibreSocial for better functionalities. We describe the architecture and each individual component of LibreSocial and point out how LibreSocial meets the basic requirements for a fully functional distributed OSN.
