In conventional DHTs, each node is assigned an exclusive slice of identifier space. Simple it is, such arrangement may be rough. In this paper we propose a generic component structure: several independent nodes constitute a cell; a slice of identifier space is under nodes' condominium; part of nodes in the same cell cooperatively and transparently shield the internal dynamism and structure of the cell from outsiders; this type of structure can be recursively repeated. Cells act like raw nodes in conventional DHTs and cell components can be used as bricks to construct any DHT-like systems. This approach provides encapsulation, scalable hierarchy, and enhanced security with bare incurred complexity. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2004.
