Abstract:
Secure routing in P2P distributed hash table based systems has been an open subject for several years due to the importance of the routing protocol in these systems. Providing security at the routing level is a hard task because of the open nature of these systems. This article presents a protocol for reliable routing in P2P DHT-based systems, which mitigates routing attacks. It makes use of a quorum topology and a reputation system to provide security at the routing level. It is shown, theoretically and by simulations, that proposed protocol keeps stable the number of involved messages in the forwarding process, as well as it tolerates up to 30% of malicious nodes.
