Description

Title
System and Method for Searching for Specific Types of People or Information on a Peer- to-Peer Network
Related Patent Application This is a continuation-in-part of United State Patent Application Serial No.
10/764,111 filed on January 23, 2004 entitled "Method for Monitoring and Providing Information Over a Peer to Peer Network.
Field of the Invention
The present invention provides a system for searching for specific types of people or specific types of information on a Peer-to-Peer network, and in particular, using specific types of search terms as a means of profiling to find specific types of information or specific types of people on a Peer-to-Peer network. A method for searching for specific types of people or information on a Peer-to-Peer network is also provided.
Background of the Invention As used herein, peer to peer networks which are the subject of the present invention comprise multiple nodes, each node typically consisting both of file server and client which can send and receive data or "Communication messages" to or from a node to which such is connected.
In a peer to peer network each node is connected to other nodes over a communication medium such as the internet either directly or through some type of proxy. For example, when a search request is issued such originating node sends a search request to all of the nodes to which it is connected, (see Figure 1) These nodes search their list of available files and if a match is found they send a response back with the location. However, a peer to peer proxy network typically consists of node A which is connected to a node B and node B is connected to a node C. (see Figure 2) Node A is not connected to node C such that if node A issues a search request it will be forwarded to node B and Node B will search its available files and if a match is found it will send a response back to node A. Node B will then forward node A's request to node C and Node C will search its available files and if a match is found it will send a response back to node B. Node B will then forward this response to node A. Figure 3 discloses a nonproxy loop network wherein each node is directly connected to another. Some peer to peer networks utilize a leaf node/main node proxy topology (See
Figure 4) where some nodes are classified as main nodes and the remaining nodes are classified as leaf nodes. Leaf nodes can only connect to main nodes. Only main nodes can connect to other main nodes. When a leaf node issues a search request it sends the request to the main node that it is connected to. The main node then forwards the request to any other leaf nodes that are connected to it and also to any main nodes it is connected to. These main nodes forward the request to any leaf nodes that are connected to them.
Commonly these networks are used to share music, movies, and software files among its users. To access this network a user installs a Peer-to-Peer client software application that is capable of connecting to, and utilizing the Peer-to-Peer network. When installing the software the user must select a folder on their computer system in which to store any downloaded files. Any files placed into this folder are also made available to other users. For instance, if user #1 places a file named "foofile" in their shared folder, user #2 would then be able to access and download the file.
For whatever reason, users sometimes select a folder as the shared folder that contains sensitive information or information they do not otherwise wish to share or they may later begin to place sensitive information or information they do not otherwise wish to share into their shared folder by mistake. Usually this action is done by mistake and unknowingly by the user but sometimes it is done by a malicious person. Sometimes the Peer-to-Peer client software has a software bug that permits the sharing of files and directories that the user never intended to be shared. Sometimes it is a violation of corporate policy to have Peer-to-Peer client software installed.
The information shared may be detrimental the user, the company they work for, or even to national security. For instance, an employee of company "A" may inadvertently be sharing confidential information on company "B." It would therefore be advantageous to locate these people who are sharing sensitive or protected information so that the information can be removed or the person can be made to stop sharing the information.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for locating specific types of people or specific information on Peer-to-Peer networks by issuing specific search terms that would result in locating and identifying information that should not be shared.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
