The Peer-to-Peer network has been widely used to share large files anonymously. Because of its open nature, nodes can join and leave Peer-to-Peer networks freely. But there are few limited methods to ensure their trust. Malicious nodes can expose great security threats to Peer-to-Peer networks such as spreading inauthentic data and viruses. But handling all the malicious nodes in the same way causes wastes of the network. In this paper, we first introduce the existing ways of handling malicious nodes in the Peerto-Peer network and then present a better approach dealing with malicious nodes which has a better performance than before.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
