Since the inception of Napster in the late 1990s, the peer-to-peer (P2P) computing model
has grown dramatically. In the literature, however, there is little consensus about its …

After clarifying the underlying problems in a secure network storage, we introduce two
important requirements, leakage-resilience and availability in higher levels respectively, for …

At the core of each blockchain system, parties communicate through a peer-to-peer (P2P)
overlay. Unfortunately, recent evidence suggests these P2P overlays represent a significant …

Today, life cannot be imagined without many Internet-based services. One major threat to
such services is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This research is one step …

∎ This can be preventively achieved through selection of closed P2P systems that enable
attack detection and recovery. A closed P2P overlay is characterized by the fact that peers …

Blockchain technology has proven to be a promising solution for decentralized systems in
various industries. At the core of a blockchain system is the peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay …

Today, many distributed applications are typically deployed at a large scale, including Grid,
web search engines and content distribution networks, and it is expected for their scale to …

When using overlay networks it can get complicated to keep track of the structure of the
networks as well as keeping track of what gets exposed on these networks. This master …

Blockchain systems built on top of structured overlay networks are capable of efficient
information propagation. However, using structured overlays have security risks such as …
