A Survey of P2P Network Security

This paper presents a review of peer-to-peer network security. Popular for sharing of multimedia files, these networks carry risks and vulnerabilities relating to data integrity, spyware, adware, and unwanted files. Further attacks include those of forgery, pollution, repudiation, membership and Eclipse attacks, neighbor selection attacks, Sybil, DoS, and omission attacks. We review some protection mechanisms that have been devised.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

A Comprehensive Security Model for Networking Applications

Abstract—The Internet is currently being used by millions of users for web browsing, data storage, social networks, communications, VOIP, e-commerce, and other applications that are enabled by wireless networks, cloud computing, distributed systems, and cellphone networks. The architecture for these applications is not secure as shown by all the recent widelypublicized attacks. We propose a comprehensive security model for networking applications that includes new key distribution and management techniques and a realistic trust model
