Trust Based Content Distribution for Peer-To-Peer Overlay Networks

Trust Based Content Distribution for Peer-To- Peer Overlay Networks

In peer-to-peer content distribution the lack of a central authority makes authentication difficult. Without authentication, adversary nodes can spoof identity and falsify messages in the overlay. This enables malicious nodes to launch man-in-the-middle or denial-of-service attacks. In this paper, we present a trust based content distribution for peer-to-peer overlay networks, which is built on...

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

Overlay Networks for Peer-to-Peer Networks

Every distributed system must be based on some kind of logical interconnection structure, also called an overlay network , that allows its sites to exchange information. Once distributed systems become large enough, one has to deal with sites continuously entering and leaving the system, simply because sites may fail and have to be replaced by new sites or because additional resources have to b...

A QoS-Aware Intelligent Replica Management Architecture for Content Distribution in Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks

The large scale content distribution systems were improved broadly using the replication techniques. The demanded contents can be brought closer to the clients by multiplying the source of information geographically, which in turn reduce both the access latency and the network traffic. The system scalability can be improved by distributing the load across multiple servers which is proposed by r...

Trust in Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution Protocols

The distribution of virtual goods like multimedia data relies on the trustworthiness of the distribution system. Recent concepts for the distribution based on peer to peer networks like BitTorrent require new approaches to establish the needed level of trust in the overall functionality of the system. This paper explores the integration of hardware based trust concepts from the domain of Truste...
