Abstract
Content broadcasting is an effective method of delivering content to a large number of users. Several products are now available to support live broadcasting in IP-based networks. However, live broadcasting in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network involves a heavy concentrated communication load and incurs network delays that result in users not necessarily viewing a live transmission simultaneously. In this paper we consider an alternative type of P2P broadcasting scheme, offline broadcasting, which provides a decentralized broadcasting service with anonymity. This scheme provides a practical alternative to existing techniques for broadcasting content that can be created in advance. We present security analysis of the scheme from the following aspects: security of our timed release encryption scheme, timed release capability, content plagiarism, masquerading, denial of service, and content protection.
