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...

SCOPE: Synergistic Content Distribution and Peer-to-Peer Networks

Distributing content on the Internet is an important economic, educational, social, and cultural endeavor. To this end, there have been proposals to use traditional server-based content distribution networks (CDNs) to replicate and distribute web and multimedia content of big content producers, such as news websites, or big businesses, such as online shopping websites, etc., to millions of Inte...

Efficient Content Distribution in semi-decentralized Peer-to-Peer-Networks

Sharing content such as scientific papers or multimedia data in locally distributed organisations or between a group of co-operating users still poses a couple of problems. Existing systems like centralized client-server solutions and distributed peer-to-peer applications both suffer from their characteristic disadvantages. Centralized systems on the one hand have advantages in their good manag...

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

Potentials and challenges of peer-to-peer based content distribution

Multimedia content currently accounts for over three quarters of all Internet traffic. This increase in traffic volume and content availability derives from a paradigm shift from the traditional text and picture based Web, to more resource demanding audio and video content. A controversial driver for this development is content distribution systems based on peer-to-peer overlay networks. Floodi...
