Turtle P2P F2F
What is

• Turtle is a P2P Network with connections only
  from friend-to-friend (F2F)

• Its like an friendslist with trusted and
  approved friends

Welcome to the Presentation of the Turtle
Network

• no connections to unknown peers, only to friends

2
In so called anonymous p2p networks with
public peers or unkown neighbours Endpoints are
always exposed...
secure is onlya trusted F2F network

New Paradigm I From P2P to F2FRouting Data
Packets over Friends to Friends

• No connection to a public IP-Adress or unknown
  Peer is used for communication (paradigm I)

• safe and secure IP-hidden transport of
  information and datapackets

• Routing from friends over friends to friends

• worldwide first working routing application
  F2F with hopping over trusted friends only...
  and ...

5
New Paradigm II Difference to other F2F-Networks

• The difference to other friend-to-friend-networks
  is

• ... You never know the IP adress from Friends of
  your Friends (paradigm II)

• No central server knowing all IP-Adresses of
  friends

• Decentral P2P/F2F -List without any server

6
Encrypting every transfer

• Every transfer is encrypted (exclusion of the
  Internet Service Provider (ISP))

• No one can break the encryption, as it is a
  symmetric key, sent over a second communication
  channel to the trusted friend (It is not a
  asymmetric key over the same lane, over which
  data packets are sent later.)

7
Short Screenshot Insert the encryption key into
the Friend Node Settings
... so a symmetric key has to be sent to the
friend over a second communication line (email or
other IM)
8
Send messages to friends and share and transfer
files over hops of trusted friends

• Using Turtle F2F performs the Turtle F2F Network

1. You can connect your Friends
2. You can use the friends of your friends in a
proxy-chain with node-hopping to transfer files
An Overlay-Network is performed.

• Filesharing is done with the giFT-filesharing-appl
  ication ...

Filesharing safe anonymUse giFT with hops
over Turtle-Friends

• giFT is a popular filesharing application
• supporting Gnutella, Ares, Open Fastrack as
  scheduled soon Edonkey/Emule protocol ...
• ... so giFT
• is a real
• Shareaza.

History of Filesharing
Today is F2F

• 1. Generation Napster - download central from
  a server
• 2. Generation Gnutella / Emule-Kademlia,
  Kazaa- decentral p2p without any server
• 3. Generation ANts p2p, Mute, i2Phex-
  non-direct, encrypted connections
• New 3. Generation F2F - Turtle - from P2P to
  F2F/ paradigms
• 1. No connections to public, unkown peers! Only
  trusted Friends 2. Hopping over friends is
  possible non-direct decentral
• 3. Asymmetric Encrypted Connections
• 4. Generation pplive, joost - music or TV
  streams over p2p
