“…They authenticate routing messages and certify links to prevent malicious nodes from forging messages based on a PKI. In the PEPERS project [49], a basic framework for MP2P security mechanisms was developed. By now, only the framework itself is introduced and no further MP2P security mechanisms were proposed.…”

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks share central characteristics such as their distributed and decentralized nature. Combining both networking paradigms results in a Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) system that operates independently from a preexisting infrastructure. Securing MP2P networks in terms of availability and robustness as basic demands in envisioned application scenarios like first responder operations is a challenging task. In this article, we present a survey of selected threats and of state of the art countermeasures for MANETs and P2P networks. Further, we discuss the efficiency of MANET and P2P security mechanisms when applied in MP2P networks.

“…The flexibility of these devices is due largely to their size, their wireless connections and hence their mobility. Battery power, however, can be an inhibiting factor that determines the range of viable computational and communication activities that can be supported [1].…”

The emergence of mobile P2P systems is largely due to the evolution of mobile devices into powerful information processing units. The relatively structured context that results from the mapping of mobile patterns of behaviour onto P2P models is however constrained by the vulnerabilities of P2P networks and the inherent limitations of mobile devices.Whilst the implementation of P2P models gives rise to security and reliability issues, the deployment of mobile devices is subject to efficiency constraints. This paper presents the development and deployment of a mobile P2P system based on distributed hash tables (DHT). The secure, reliable and efficient dispersal of files is taken as an application. Reliability was addressed by providing two methods for file dispersal: replication and erasure coding. Security constraints were catered for by incorporating an authentication mechanism and three encryption schemes. Lightweight versions of various algorithms were selected in order to attend to efficiency requirements.

“…As part of PEPERS a set of runtime modules have been developed that provide general functionality (for example, encryption, secure P2P communication, etc) intended for use by mobile P2P applications (Walkerdine, 2007). When designing the various application sub-systems, developers may wish to make use of these modules.…”

The growth of mobile devices with near PC equivalent capabilities has brought with it the possibility of mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. However, the unique nature of mobile devices introduces new challenges that need to be considered during the development process, especially when considering critical aspects such as system security. This chapter presents the PEPERS Development Methodology (PDM), a tool-supported methodology that aims to assist designers in developing secure mobile P2P systems, and encourages them to consider specific mobile P2P design issues from an early stage. The PDM is demonstrated within the context of a real-world case study of a system developed for a security company.
