1. Building a P3P application based on a research prototype developed in LSIR lab
2. Studying research issues in the current system and propose improvements

Benefits

• Opportunity to  work on state-of-the-art privacy aware P2P systems
• Excellent research exposure

Prerequisite: 

• Basic knowledge of P2P systems.
• Excellent development skills in Java.
• (Optional) Experience in deploying and testing P2P systems on PlanetLab.
• Ability to study and understand research papers if interested to join the follow-up research on P3P.
