There is no security. P2P wasn't designed to be secure. Anyone can see what files you are downloading and sharing, and what you are searching for. But as long as there is no personal information on the files that you share, the only information about you as a person that they can get is your IP address, which isn't very useful. Your ISP and the police are the only people who can find out who you are using your IP address. You could make P2P slightly more secure by using an encrypted proxy. -DJ Craig
