Secured Group Instant Messaging, or Collaboration
WASTE, developed by nullsoft founder and Gnutella author Justin Frankel, is likely the first IM tool, or P2P tool in other respect, that enable secure distributed messaging/file swaping using public/private keys. It allows 50 nodes to establish a group for secure communication. This is an open-source project.
In some sense, it looks like Microsoft's threedegrees.
Probably another iminent problem in this regard is, how to protect a user's anonymity since RIAA is taking action to sue file swappers soon. Freenet, among others, might be the first that comes into my mind. No IP will be traced. Sort of proxy is used. But currently the most popular one is Kazaa, in which you could easilly trace the IP you are downloading from.
