The Mingle Project
|
 |
Overview:
Mingle is a secure distributed keyword search system that helps people find the data in
their personal distributed computing environments. Each participating host
runs a Mingle server, which maintains an inverted index of the local file system.
Users initiate keyword searches by typing keywords to lightweight Mingle
clients. A query can be processed by the local host, or routed through the
participating hosts using peer-to-peer communication to locate all of the
desired data. The Mingle security architecture focuses on preventing
unauthorized release of information while allowing files to be maximally shared.
Both the access control and authentication mechanisms emphasize user
convenience.
