Abstract

Peer to Peer (P2P) networks become more and more popular nowadays. They offer the capability of locating and obtaining a file from all over the world very fast. As a result, P2P networks constitute the main cause for the network traffic. Besides their many advantages, these networks suffer from a very strong drawback: authentication-security. Content Management Systems (CMSs) on the other hand offer this capability, among others. A combination of these two architectures could be obviously very interesting.
