Authentication-free fault-tolerant peer-to-peer service provisioning

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

The correct functioning of a peer-to-peer network relies on cooperative behavior of peers as service providers. Current approaches to detection and deterrence of non-cooperative behavior, such as reputation systems, rely on (1) global sharing of observatio ...
