A Self-Orgnizing Model for Peer-to-Peer Systems using Trust Relations

Distributed Trust Management Model for Peer To Peer Systems

In a file sharing peer-to peer system trust is essential to attain enhanced cooperation between peers. Reputation is utilized in reputation-based peer-to-peer systems to form trust between peers. Commonly in these systems, extremely reputable peers will be chosen to upload requested files and thus diminishing malicious uploads in the system considerably. Conversely, malicious peers should be en...

A Role Based Trust Model for Peer to Peer Systems Using Credential Trees

This paper deals with a Role based Trust (RT) model for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are essentially decentralized in nature to enhance resource sharing and collaboration. The anonymous and open nature of P2P systems offers an almost ideal environment for unauthorized access of digital content and also for easy distribution of malware. Today’s popular P2P systems have to challenge ...

Exploiting Trust in Peer-to-Peer Systems

Second generation peer-to-peer systems [5, 6] have shown a lot of promise with many desirable properties such as scalability, self-configuration, automatic load balancing etc. However the open nature of these systems also makes them vulnerable to Byzantine attacks. These systems are designed to be fault tolerant in the presence of a few malicious nodes. We however believe that even a handful of...

A Trust Model for Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution Networks

Poblano A Distributed Trust Model for Peer-to-Peer Networks

On a decentralized network, like Peer-to-Peer (P2P), users can see from where the information arrives, as well communicate their opinions on both the information they have acquired, and the peers who are its source. These personal opinions can be collected, exchanged, and evaluated. Furthermore, these opinions, when evaluated, can be used as guidelines for searching for information, and recomme...
