IPFS is a content-addressed decentralized peer-to-peer data network, using
the Bitswap protocol for exchanging data. The data exchange leaks the
information to all neighbors, compromising a user's privacy. This paper
investigates the suitability of forwarding with source obfuscation techniques
for improving the privacy of the Bitswap protocol. The usage of forwarding can
add plausible deniability and the source obfuscation provides additional
protection against passive observers. First results showed that through
trickle-spreading the source prediction could decrease to 40 %, at …
