Abstract


This talk will present technical solutions towards a secure and fully
decentralized future Internet, with focus on the GNU Name System. The
GNU Name System is a new decentralized public key infrastructure which
we propose as an alternative to DNS(SEC) and X.509, in particular for
online social networking applications. I will also give an overview
of the GNUnet architecture and give pointers to ongoing related
research.
