The Escort Service Discovery Protocol Richard Dunn PoCSci ’02 May 24, 2001
Background • PiMP: Groundbreaking work on Hoare monitors • How to discover PiMP: • Monitor adopts colorful characteristics • Run client in promiscuous mode • Doesn’t scale to wide area
Solution • Escort services • Link various PiMPs together • Distributed indexing service • Still must find Escort Service • Traditional P2P: well-known hosts • ES: well-known Hoares?
Algorithm • Check semantic index for “massage”, “exotic dancing”, “hot tub rental” • Try accessing Secure EXchange paper • Make a request of a CAB™ Driver • Once found, send time window and service parameters • ES returns list of matching Hoares with associated metric
Security • Escort services handle flash crowds well • See work by Annabel Chong and Jasmine St. Clair scaling to hundreds of clients • Need to protect client privacy • Forge user identity, e.g. “John”
Conclusion • One step closer to getting some action for 433 residents • Next project: MasterPiMP
