“…Ding et al have proposed a model based on trust management scheme that can mitigate the malware proliferation in P2P content distribution systems [Ding et al, 2008]. Zhou et al in [Zhou et al, 2005] investigated the worms taking advantage of P2P weakness and proposed several countermeasures based on individual P2P users to carry out detection and post-detection mitigation.…”

“…Consequently, each user in the system needs to evaluate the information received from another user in order to determine the trustworthiness about the information as well as the provider. This can be achieved by employing trust management techniques [Ding et al, 2008] within these systems. However, most trust models in P2P systems are identity-based; hence there exists a trade-off between trust and anonymity.…”

“…In this twolayer approach, each peer has a trust table that keeps two trust values. The first parameter, similar to the one used in DTM [11], is a trust value corresponding to the other peers. A trust value at peer A about peer B means the probability A has that a contaminated file would be downloaded from B.…”

Abstract-Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking is used by users with similar interests to exchange, contribute, or obtain files. This network model has been proven popular to exchange music, pictures, or software applications that are saved, and most likely executed at the downloading host. At the expense of this mechanism, worms, viruses, and intruding files find an open front door to the downloading host and giving them place to a very convenient environment for successful proliferation throughout the network. Although virus detection software are currently available, this countermeasure works in a reactive approach and most times isolated manner. In this paper, we consider a trust management scheme to contain the proliferation of viruses in P2P networks. Specifically, we propose a trust management system based on a two-layer approach to bound the proliferation of viruses. The new scheme is called Doublelayer Dynamic Trust (DDT) management scheme. Our results show the proposed scheme bounds virus proliferation. With this approach, the number of infected hosts and proliferation rate are limited to small values. We compare our results to other existing approaches.Index Terms-Malware, P2P, peer-to-peer networks, trust management, virus proliferation.

Abstract-Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking has the potential of providing wide channels for file exchange. At the same time, P2P is prone to the proliferation of viruses. Peer trust reputation can be used to prevent virus dissemination. However, when viruses have infectious properties, peer reputation may not be enough to limit their proliferation. This letter shows the inefficiency of simple peer reputation to bound epidemics in an infectious environment and introduces a trust management algorithm that uses the combination of trust values of peers and infection values of both peers and content to bound the proliferation of viruses in P2P networks. The proposed trust management scheme can bound virus proliferation to a small number of peers without inhibiting file-download activity.
