A Comparative Evaluation of Trust Models in P2P Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Peer to Peer (P2P) networks have been widely used in recent years in various of applications such as file sharing, content distribution, and e-commerce. At the same time, there were a number of attacks on the reputation mechanisms in these P2P networks. These attacks intend to manipulate or misuse the reputation systems so that ratings on certain peers are biased or ignored. Many approaches in the academia have tried to defend against these attacks. This paper first provides a comparative study on three major trust models: Eigentrust, PeerTrust, and RTrust. We then propose a generalized trust model, show its parameters, and present a detailed analysis how existing approaches can be encompassed in this model. In addition we discuss issues related to existing models, and show a few potential areas for future research.

A 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 ...
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 کاملGGRA: a grouped gossip-based reputation aggregation algorithm
An important issue in P2P networks is the existence of malicious nodes that decreases the performance of such networks. Reputation system in which nodes are ranked based on their behavior, is one of the proposed solutions to detect and isolate malicious (low ranked) nodes. Gossip Trust is an interesting previously proposed algorithm for reputation aggregation in P2P networks based on t...
متن کاملA Novel Trust Evaluation Model for Mobile P2P Networks
Trust is one of key factors which influence the development of mobile P2P networks. However, current trust evaluation models are not applicable to mobile P2P networks properly due to some of its characteristics such as heterogeneous nature of the peers, limited-range as well as unreliability of wireless links. In the paper main factors that influence the trust in mobile P2P networks are identif...
متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
