  abstract = {Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are a key data structure for construction of a
        peer to peer systems. They provide an efficient way to distribute the storage and
        retrieval of key-data pairs among the participating peers. DHTs should be
        scalable, robust against churn and resilient to attacks. X-Vine is a DHT protocol
        which offers security against Sybil attacks. All communication among peers is
        performed over social network links, with the presumption that a friend can be
        trusted. This trust can be extended to a friend of a friend. It uses the tested
        Chord Ring topology as an overlay, which has been proven to be scalable and
        robust. The aim of the thesis is to experimentally compare two DHTs, R5 N and
        X-Vine. GNUnet is a free software secure peer to peer framework, which uses R 5N
        . In this thesis, we have presented the implementation of X-Vine on GNUnet, and
        compared the performance of R5 N and X-Vine},
