Enhancing the Security of Content Distribution using On-the-Fly Verification via Network Coding

Content distribution in network may be vulnerable henceforth unauthorized users can inject “bogus” data to corrupt the content during its distribution process in order to deplete the network resource. Content verification is the important one to maintain integrity of the content. This is achieved by on the fly verification. Content is splitted and hashing is applied. Hashed content is sent to the destination through peer to peer network. Key is sent to the destination directly from the source. Without the key unauthorized users finds difficult to modify the content.
