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 …

Trust management schemes for peer-to-peer networks
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking enables users with similar interests to exchange, or obtain files. This network model has been proven popular to exchange music, pictures, or software applications. These files are saved, and most likely executed, at the downloading host. At the expense of this …

Routing tradeoffs in dynamic peer-to-peer networks
Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are useful tools for building large scale distributed systems. DHTs provide a hash-table-like interface to applications by routing a key to its responsible node among the current set of participating nodes. DHT deployments are characterized by churn, a continuous …

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 …

A keyword-set search system for peer-to-peer networks
The Keyword-Set Search System (KSS) is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) keyword search system that uses a distributed inverted index. The main challenge in a distributed index and search system is finding the right scheme to partition the index across the nodes in the network. The most obvious scheme would be …

Evolutionary methods for self-organizing cooperation in peer-to-peer networks
The Peer-to-Peer network paradigm is drawing the attention of both final users and researchers for its features. P2P networks shift from the classic client-server approach to a high level of decentralization where there is no central control and all the nodes should be able not only to require …

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 …

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 …

Mitigating Network Service Disruptions in High-bandwidth, Intermittently Connected, and Peer-to-Peer Networks
Users demand high-bandwidth, ubiquitous and low-cost network services. This demand has pushed ISPs and application providers to offer more bandwidth, allow users to access the Internet almost everywhere, and provide cheap or free network services using peer-to-peer networks. These three trends …

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 …

An investigation into expanding the capabilities of peer-to-peer networks: combining centralized network infrastructure into decentralized peer-to-peer network topology
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been adopted by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP [30]) as the standard signalling for session management over wireless networks. It’s the basis of a wide range of IP multimedia services. SIP relies on centralized servers according to its …

Quality-consciousness in Large-scale Content Distribution in the Internet
… is the primary function of the Internet today. Technologies like multicast and peer-to-peer networks hold the potential to serve content to large populations in a scalable manner. While multicast provides an efficient transport mechanism for one-to-many and many-to-many delivery of data …

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 …

Peer-to-peer network modeling for adversarial proactive cyber defenses
This thesis implements a novel peer-to-peer network simulator that integrates co-evolutionary algorithms in order to model adversarial attack and defense dynamics in networks. Modeling this behavior is desirable as it allows for network designers to better develop network defense strategies against …
