| Social Network Service (SNS) such as Twitter suffers from server performance bottlenecks, central point of failure and malicious attacks due to the centralized architecture. Besides existing work (e.g., PeerSon, Safebook, etc.) of building decentralized SNS on top of P2P overlay, Content-Centric Networking (CCN) can achieve efficient content cache and dissemination and therefore provide an alternative to construct decentralized SNS. Leveraging CCN, this project is to decentralize Twitter in a peer-assisted fashion where messages (i.e., tweets/statuses) are disseminated by CCN among users and the Twitter server is only used as a messages backup. A Twitter client application is expected to be designed, implemented and built on top of the open-source CCN reference implementation.
