Privacy-enhancing and performance-enhancing tactics for secure distributed interactions in decentralized systems

In the context of Web 3.0, large distributed systems with centralized management are evolving to more client-centric decentralized systems, where the end-users are controlling their own data on their personal devices. However, upon designing such client-centric systems, several questions arise regarding the performance of the systems and privacy of the end-users. In this PhD research, we propose tactics to optimize performance and privacy for distributed interactions and remote data exchanges in the context of such highly decentralized systems. We propose, incept, implement and validate such tactics on both state of the art as well as industry-relevant technologies and architectures. We thoroughly evaluate them in the context of real-life applications such as decentralized personal file storage and mobile applications for social networks.
