Personal devices everywhere • Internally they are like real computers • They are increasingly networked • They store data that people want to share
Problem: many limitations on how devices connect and share USB sync well-known public servers Bluetooth USB OTG
Concept: sharing via simple, zero-configuration global connectivity Alice & Bob meet locally,assign personal names Bluetooth USB OTG “Alice” “Bob” “Alice” “alice1234.dyndns.org” Later: Alice & Bobconnect remotelyusing same names “Alice” “Bob”
Goals • Simple: no management; as easy to use as plugging devices together via USB cable • Consistent: same names, user interfaces whether local or remote • Secure: all data & communication protected w/o user understanding keys, PKI, ... • Scalable: millions of users hooking their heterogeneous devices into social networks
Research Results: Persistent personal names [OSDI '06] Alpaca extensible security [CCS '07] Structured streams [SIGCOMM '07] Scalable routing[in progress] Status Prototype “works” on several OS's, devices Linux, FreeBSD, Mac Nokia N800 Xda Atom
