Recently, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have widely been used to file-sharing applications
due to their decentralized architecture and reliability. The popularization of P2P networks …

In peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, it is common practice to manage each peer
using reputation systems. A reputation system systematically tracks the reputation of each …

Current reputation systems for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks suffer from high
overhead on reputation querying. Also, purely relying on a threshold to detect malicious …

Peer-to-peer file sharing networks have gained a lot of popularity and are burgeoning day
by day. The widespread use inevitably produces malicious peers who try to disrupt the …

Trust is required in file sharing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems to achieve better cooperation
among peers and reduce malicious uploads. In reputation-based P2P systems, reputation is …

Trust research has become a key issue in the last few years as a novel and valid solution to
ensure the security and application in peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks. The …

Cooperation incentive mechanisms are an essential ingredient to the success of Peer-to-
Peer (P2P) systems as they restraint the phenomenon of free-riding. We introduce an …

Reputation systems have been proposed to distinguish malicious peers and ensure the
quality of services in P2P networks. How-ever, only relying on global reputation scores to …

The existence of a high degree of free riding is a serious threat to Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed framework to reduce the adverse effects of …
