SybilInfer: Detecting Sybil Nodes using Social Networks
SybilInfer is an algorithm for labelling nodes in a social network as honest users or Sybils controlled by an adversary. At the heart of SybilInfer lies a probabilistic model of honest social networks, and an inference engine that returns potential regions of dishonest nodes. The Bayesian inference approach to Sybil detection comes with the advantage label has an assigned probability, indicatin...
متن کاملDetecting Sybil Nodes in Static and Dynamic Networks
Peer-to-peer systems are known to be vulnerable to the Sybil attack. The lack of a central authority allows a malicious user to create many fake identities (called Sybil nodes) pretending to be independent honest nodes. The goal of the malicious user is to influence the system on his/her behalf. In order to detect the Sybil nodes and prevent the attack, a reputation system is used for the nodes...
متن کاملSystems for Anonymous Communication
We present an overview of the field of anonymous communications, from its establishment in 1981 by David Chaum to today. Key systems are presented categorized according to their underlying principles: semitrusted relays, mix systems, remailers, robust & verifiable mixes, and onion routing systems. We include extended discussions of the threat models and usage models that different schemes provi...
متن کاملSybil Nodes as a Mitigation Strategy Against Sybil Attack
Sybil attack is considered one of the most damaged attack that menace structured p2p overlay networks. It’s the most sophisticated node active, used for a variety of illicit activities. A key requirement for these activities is the ability of such malicious user to generate a huge number of node identifiers and possibly choose some of them in order to disrupt availability and integrity in such ...
متن کاملDefending against Sybil Nodes in BitTorrent
BitTorrent and its derivatives contribute a major portion of Internet traffic due to their simple and scalable operation. However, the lack of security mechanisms makes them vulnerable to attacks such as file piece pollution, connection slot consumption, and bandwidth exhaustion. These effects are made worse by the ability of attackers to manufacture new identities, or Sybil nodes, at will. The...
