We are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how content is created and exchanged over the Internet. While content was previously created primarily by a small minority of organizations, now, individual users--empowered by the popularity of digital devices and social networks, as well as the ubiquity of Internet access--are creating content that represents a significant fraction of Internet traffic. Unfortunately, existing techniques and infrastructure are ill-suited for the new patterns of content creation and exchange, resulting in a mismatch of infrastructure and workload that is evident in places ranging from the ways in which content is distributed to the ways in users are able to express access control. To make matters worse, existing providers have been slow to develop new techniques, as their current business models are often heavily reliant on existing approaches. Intellectual Merit: Motivated by these trends, this project is developing systems, networks, and distribution architectures that are tailored to the changing patterns of content creation and exchange, enabling users to freely exchange content and express meaningful privacy policies for end user-generated content. Broader Impact: Fully delegating the responsibility for addressing these challenges to industry risks entrenching the providers of today into a position of ensuring that content can only be shared in ways that are in-line with their business interests. Thus, the impact of the proposed research will be potentially felt by all users of online social networks, and will thus have significant public impact.

我们正处于互联网内容创建和交换方式发生根本性转变的开端。虽然以前内容主要是由少数组织创建的，但现在，个人用户在数字设备和社交网络的普及以及无处不在的互联网接入的推动下，正在创建代表互联网流量很大一部分的内容。不幸的是，现有的技术和基础设施不适合内容创建和交换的新模式，导致基础设施和工作负载的不匹配，这在从内容分发的方式到用户能够表达访问控制的方式等各个方面都很明显。更糟糕的是，现有的供应商在开发新技术方面进展缓慢，因为他们目前的业务模式往往严重依赖于现有的方法。智力优势：在这些趋势的推动下，该项目正在开发系统、网络和分发架构，以适应不断变化的内容创建和交换模式，使用户能够自由交换内容，并为最终用户生成的内容表达有意义的隐私政策。更广泛的影响：将解决这些挑战的责任完全委托给行业风险，使今天的提供商陷入一种境地，即确保只能以符合其商业利益的方式共享内容。因此，所有在线社交网络的用户都可能感受到拟议研究的影响，并因此产生重大的公共影响。
