Abstract: In a network, a common agnostic data exchange method between two devices native to the network, the devices using different formats and transmission protocols, includes invoking a proxy at each device, and a first proxy receiving a first data record from a first device, the first data record having a first format. The first proxy identifies the first format by comparing a first pattern of the first data record to reference patterns of one or more reference data records and determines if a sufficient pattern match exists between the first pattern and the reference pattern. The first proxy translates the first data record's format into an inter-proxy data record having an inter-proxy format and transmits the inter-proxy data record to a second proxy coupled to a second device. The second proxy translates the inter-proxy data record to a second data record having a format employed at the second device.

Abstract: In general, the disclosure is directed to data storage within a peer-to-peer network that includes a plurality of computing devices. A first computing device of the peer-to-peer network stores an encrypted file in a data storage component. The first computing device creates file information metadata comprising details of the encrypted file and peer information metadata comprising details of the first computing device. The first computing device updates a file distributed hash table to include the file information metadata and a peer distributed hash table to include the peer information metadata. At least a portion of the file distributed hash table is stored on a first group of one or more computing devices of the plurality of computing devices. Further, at least a portion of the peer distributed hash table is stored on a second group of one or more computing devices of the plurality of computing devices.
