A Token-based Accounting Scheme for P2P- Systems

چکیده
This paper presents a token-based accounting scheme for decentralized autonomous systems, such as peer-to-peer systems. The scheme uses tokens as proof of resource usage or service usage. Conforming to the peer-to-peer paradigm, the tokens are issued using a decentralized mechanism. Within peer-to-peer the proposed accounting scheme can be used to cope with the shortage of information. Therewith, it constitutes the basis for coordination and control mechanisms as well as pricing for commercial scenarios in completely decentralized systems. The presented scheme is compared against an alterative approach showing the advantage of the tokenbased mechanism in terms of communication costs.

Trusted accounting in peer-to-peer environments: a novel token-based accounting scheme for autonomous distributed systems
Communication systems based on the peer-to-peer (p2p) paradigm present what is likely the most important development in Internet technology in recent years. In spite of the position of p2p systems as the largest source of traffic on the Internet, their commercial success is still limited. The basic tenets of p2p systems are cooperation among peers and completely decentralised communication. How...
متن کاملToken-Based Accounting and Distributed Pricing to Introduce Market Mechanisms in a Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Scenario
This paper presents a token-based accounting mechanism that alleviates the free riding problem in P2P networks. The approach is complemented by distributed pricing as a flexible and viable scheme to incite users to share valuable content and to efficiently balance requests among all peers based on economic decisions.

This paper presents a token-based accounting mechanism that alleviates the free riding problem in P2P networks. On the basis of a P2P file sharing scenario it is shown how tokens are issued, certified and used as a payment in a secure and scalable way. The approach is complemented by distributed pricing as a flexible and viable scheme to incite users to share valuable content and to efficiently...
متن کاملDoes Proactive Secret Sharing Perform in Peer-to-Peer Systems?
Trustworthy applications in fully decentralized systems require a trust anchor. This paper describes how such an anchor can be implemented efficiently in p2p systems. The basic concept is to use threshold cryptography in order to sign messages by a quorum of peers. The focus is put on advanced mechanisms to secure the shares of the secret key over time, using proactive secret sharing. This mech...
متن کاملA Genetic Programming-based trust model for P2P Networks
Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...
