“…Such a server allows peers to share their public IP addresses and thus assists in establishing P2P connections. The framework [16] works around this challenge with the help of Google's Web Real-Time Communications protocol (WebRTC). WebRTC is a set of APIs that is implemented by most web browsers and, therefore, fulfills the browser supporting requirements of the framework.…”

“…Finally, the framework also includes: a Client-Side interface for application developers, WebRTC configurations for assisting in establishing a P2P connections (see Fig. 4), and APIs to exchange messages between the Live-Rooms and Message-Box services [16].…”

“…To this end, we proposed a novel framework [16] that aims to reduce the dependency on centralized servers and attempts to empower end-users with true data ownership. The proposed framework is designed as a browser-based platform-independent framework, which allows for data sharing between applications over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.…”

“…And finally, given the surge of interest in web-based applications and browserbased apps, we decided to implement the framework into a browser extension that provides Application Programming Interface (API)-based server-free communication between applications, thereby empowering not only end-users but also developers. Now, building on our previous work [16], in this paper, we delve deeper into the analysis of the design choices, security aspects, and evaluation of the said framework. We start by briefly discussing the state-of-the-art that inspired and influenced the framework; and then touch on the challenges, we would like to tackle by means of the framework.…”

Concerns over data ownership and misuse of personal data over the Web have become increasingly widespread in recent years; especially, as most web service providers are moving towards closed silo-based platforms, making the web more and more centralized. This is concerning, because, as service providers move towards centralized data storage and management, end-users become more susceptible to loss of data ownership and misuse of personal data. While in recent years, quite a few solutions have been proposed to solve these issues, the issues themselves still prevail, primarily due to lack of acceptance. That said, in this paper, we build on our previously proposed browser-based Peer-to-Peer Data Sharing Framework. We first explain the requirements and design choices which we had to keep in mind while designing the framework. And then, we provide insights into how we evaluated the functionalities and security features of the framework, through lab experiments. Finally, we elucidate the direction in which we would like to develop the framework in the near future.
