Abstract

The importance of P2P systems in real-world applications has grown significantly over the recent years. Although P2P systems have found its way into almost every field of application the lack of an adequate general security concept, research for specific security mechanisms and implementations of possible security improvements is still limiting their full potential. We are focusing on getting an overall view on the security of embedded P2P systems and on finding promising mechanisms and solutions to this challenging task. This work tries to make the first step towards secure heterogeneous pure P2P systems by specifying an appropriate overall security concept.
