Press Release Summary:
Consisting of 2 ActiveX controls, Peer-to-Peer SDK v1.0 lets users set up virtual private peer-to-peer network for secure file sharing and messaging. Transferred data is scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption, without need of SSL certificates. Security is provided by symmetric encryption with shared secret key, and asymmetric encryption with 1,024-bit public/private keys. Hub is responsible for keeping information on and authentication of online peers.
Original Press Release:
BigSpeed Computing Inc. Introduces BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK 1.0, a Virtual Private Peer-To-Peer Framework for Secure File Sharing
BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK is a set of two ActiveX controls (Agent and Hub) that
lets you set up a virtual private peer-to-peer (P2P) network for secure file sharing and messaging. The transfered data are scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption, without need of SSL certificates. The security is provided in two different modes: symmetric encryption with shared secret key and asymmetric encryption with 1024-bit public/private keys. The hub is responsible for keeping information on and authentication of online peers. All peers connected to a particular hub build a single private community.
Each agent acts as both a client and a server at the same time. Fine grained access control is realized by a group user-oriented permissions. They grant access control privileges to system resources and services in a flexible and secure manner.
Two different kind of instant information can be exchanged between peers: alert and chat messages.
In addition to standard FTP operations, such as upload, download, rename, delete, etc.,
the SDK also offers several advanced features.
BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications. A special attention is paid to provide responsive user interface while avoiding multithreading problems and maintaining maximum bandwidth efficiency.
Carefully designed set of properties, methods, and events offers great flexibility to develop peer-to-peer applications quickly and easily.
Sample applications are included in Visual Basic .NET and Delphi 7.
BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK is designed for any programming language that supports ActiveX controls on 32-bit Windows OS.
The Free EDition is available free of charge for non-commercial use from www.bigspeed.net.
BigSpeed Computing Inc. develops Internet-based and data-compression software solutions.
The privately held corporation is based in Varna, Bulgaria.

Peer-to-peer technology, the ability to work with and share files directly from computer to computer, is one of the latest buzzes in the computer industry. Unfortunately, the term "peer-to-peer" has quickly become a synonym for copyright infringement. We want to create a virtual private peer-to-peer network for small groups, typically up to several tens of desktops. Based on the traditional peer-to-peer technology, our SDK must provide totally secure data transfer through powerful on-the-fly encryption.
