Abstract
A dead drop at a node in a dead drop domain exchanges data between a sender and a recipient. The recipient provides the sender with a dead drop identifier (DDID) referencing the dead drop. The sender sends the dead drop domain a write request including the DDID. Nodes within the domain forward the request to other nodes until the write request reaches the node containing the dead drop identified by the DDID. The node receives data from the sender and stores the data in the identified dead drop. The recipient sends the dead drop domain a read request including the DDID and nodes within the domain forward the request to other nodes until the read request reaches the node containing the dead drop identified by the DDID. The node retrieves the data from the dead drop and provides the data to the recipient.
