Malte Ubl's 2004 thesis discusses implementing a fully decentralized P2P network to efficiently conduct business processes, proposing a blockchain-like mechanism for transaction processing. It emphasizes moving away from the client-server architecture to harness untapped internet resources and implementing decentralized trust management for establishing trust relationships among participants. The thesis introduces P2P transactions suitable for unreliable connections and uses a C2C online auction platform to demonstrate the application of this infrastructure.
