A Framework for Digital Investigation of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks. An Investigation into the Security Challenges and Vulnerabilities of Peer-to-Peer Networks and the Design of a Standard Validated Digital Forensic Model for Network Investigations
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks have been presenting many fascinating capabilities to the internet since their inception, which has made and is still gathering so much interest. As a result, it is being used in many domains, particularly in transferring a large amount of data, which is essential for …

Agent Extensions for Peer-to-Peer Networks.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have seen tremendous growth in development and usage in recent times. This attention has brought many developments as well as new challenges to these networks. We will show that agent extensions to P2P networks offer solutions to many problems faced by P2P networks. In …

The trust management framework for peer-to-peer networks
<p>Popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks exposed a number of security vulnerabilities. Among those is a problem of finding reliable communication partners. In this thesis, we present an integrated trust framework for peer-to-peer networks that quantifies the trustworthiness of a peer via …

Practical, scalable algorithms for Byzantine agreement
… growth of the Internet, there has been a push toward designing reliable algorithms that scale effectively in terms of latency, bandwidth and other computational resources. Scalability has been a serious problem especially with peer-to-peer (p2p) networks which may have sizes of more than a …

Using current uptime to improve failure detection in peer-to-peer networks
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks share computer resources or services through the exchange of information between participating nodes. These nodes form a virtual network overlay by creating a number of connections with one another. Due to the transient nature of nodes within these systems any connection …

Secure, Efficient and Privacy-aware Framework for Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks
Recently, the advances in Ubiquitous Computing networks and the increased computational power of network devices have led designers to create more flexible distributed network models using decentralised network management systems. Security, resilience and privacy issues within such distributed …

Managing child sexual exploitation material offenders: an exploration of investigative process, offending practise and a paraphilic profiling methodology for users of peer-to-peer systems
… is unclear, with little information available to support law enforcement identification of those actively committing, or at risk of committing, contact offences against a child in their online investigations. Very little empirical research has been undertaken to inform an investigative approach …

Characterizing and leveraging people movement for content distribution in mobile Peer-to-Peer networks
In this thesis, we present a framework to characterize and leverage people movement for improvements of content distribution in mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. Particularly, we study two typical classes of people movement including the Schelling behavior and repetitive behavior. The Schelling …

Efficient cross-layer routing and congestion control architectures for distributed systems
… such as the Internet, datacenter and hybrid P2P networks share a common known challenge of finding an optimal path to transfer content from a source to a destination and the optimal rate at which content is transmitted. In general networks such as the Internet, per user, there is usually one …
