In this project we design and implement a security-update propagation network that employs peer-to-peer model, where computers act as equals and all hosts participate in providing security update services. When a computer node joins the network to download new security updates it is automatically enlisted to serve other computers with older updates. Hence, as network size becomes larger its capability to provide service will increase and performance balances very well. To protect the network against malicious computers that may join in to spread infected files, we employ digital signature to verify the validity of any download and identify infected nodes. In addition, we incorporate other features in our network such as: the support for multiple platforms, automation, new update notification, and software update.
