CORPS: Building a Community Of Reputable PeerS in Distributed Hash Tables
Résumé
Building trust is a major concern in Peer-to-Peer networks as several kinds of applications rely on the presence of trusted . Traditional techniques do not scale, produce very high overheads or rely on unrealistic assumptions. In this paper, we propose a new membership algorithm (Community Of Reputable PeerS, CORPS) for Distributed Hash Tables which builds a community of reputable nodes and thus enables the implementation of pseudo-trusted services. CORPS uses a reputation-based approach to decide whether a node can be a member of the group or not. We demonstrate the benefits of this approach and evaluate how much it improves the reliability of a trusted routing service.
