Outline

• Goals
• Implementation
• Current Status Future Plans
• Conclusions

3
Goals

• Develop a location elusive service that can be
  used to automatically synchronize a users web
  browser Bookmarks
• Demonstrate that such a system can be made
  resilient to failure

4
Implementation

• Compose system of agile User and Bookmarks
  objects
• AO nameservice used to provide service location
  elusiveness
• Decentralized storage system provides failure
  resilient access to serialized objects
• Integrate with standard web browsers
• Silent background operation

5
Current Status Future Plans

• Completed
• Design and Implementation of the system
• Initial form of decentralized storage using
  Freenet
• Continuing
• Testing and Debugging
• Future
• More strenuous testing
• Add authentication and other security measures
• Add Interface elusiveness

6
Conclusions

• It is possible to build a location elusive
  service that is easy to use and transparent to
  the user.
• Current integration with third party applications
  is possible, but sometimes convoluted
• More testing needs to be done with a more
  stateful application
