P2P-NetPay: An Off-line Micro-payment System for Content Sharing in P2P-Networks

چکیده
Micro-payment systems have the potential to provide non-intrusive, high-volume and low-cost pay-asyou-use services for a wide variety of web-based applications. We proposed a new model, P2P-NetPay, a micro-payment protocol characterized by off-line processing, suitable for peer-to-peer network service charging. P2P micro-payment systems must provide a secure, highly efficient, flexible, usable and reliable environment, the key issues in P2P micro-payment systems development. Therefore, in order to assist in the design and implementation of an efficient micro-payment system suitable for P2P networks, we describe a prototype architecture for a new P2P-based micro-payment model based on NetPay micropayment system. We present an object-oriented design and describe a prototype implementation of P2P-NetPay for a file-sharing P2P system. We report on initial evaluation results deploying our P2P-NetPay prototype and outline directions for future research in P2P micro-payment implementations.

متن کاملP2P-NetPay: a Micro-payment System for Peer-to-Peer Networks
Micro-payment systems are becoming an important part of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The main reason for this is to address the “free-rider” problem in most existing content sharing systems. We have developed a new micro-payment system for content sharing in P2P networks called P2P-Netpay. This is an offline, debit based protocol that provides a secure, flexible, usable and reliable credit serv...

متن کاملP2P Network Trust Management Survey
Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...
متن کاملNetPay: An off-line, decentralized micro-payment system for thin-client applications
Micro-payment systems have become popular in recent times as the desire to support low-value, high-volume transactions of text, music, clip-art, video and other media has increased. We describe NetPay, a micro-payment system characterized by de-centralized, off-line processing, customer anonymity and relatively high performance and security using one-way hashing functions for encryption. We des...
