The Free Haven Project aims to deploy a system for distributed, anonymous, persistent data storage which is robust against attempts by powerful adversaries to find and destroy any stored data. This model of decentralized system has been classified as peer-to-peer by recent popular media. Main research goals of the Free Haven Project: o Anonymity: We try to meet this goal for all parties: the publishers that insert documents, the readers that retrieve documents, and the servers that store documents. We are in the process of designing and developing a free, low-latency, two-way mixnet for forward-anonymous communication. o Accountability: We consider methods for achieving accountability without sacrificing anonymity. In particular, we're researching reputation and micropayment schemes, which allow us to limit the damage done by servers which misbehave. o Persistence: The publisher of a document -- not the servers holding the document -- determines its lifetime. o Flexibility: The system functions smoothly as peers dynamically join or leave.
