PEER TO PEER ENTERPRISE FILE SHARING

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating the distribution of files from a file repository. Files from a file repository can be distributed via peer to peer transmissions where the peer devices can perform authentication functions. The authentication can be performed based upon metadata associated with the files as well as based upon authentication requests submitted to an authentication server.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a client device, the program, when executed by the client device, being configured to cause the client device to at least:
generate a request to obtain an authentication token from an authentication server, the request comprising a file identifier corresponding to a file associated with a file repository; obtain an authentication token from the authentication server; transmit the authentication token to a second client device; obtain a second authentication token from the second client device; transmit a request to verify the second authentication token to the authentication server; establish a file transfer session with the second client device in response to the authentication server verifying the corresponding authentication token.
