Abstract

Sybil attack is one of the most challenging problems related to identity management in Peer-to-Peer networks. The huge number of fake identities created by malicious users may attempt to gain a large influence on the network and may collude or subvert the system. This paper proposes a Sybil defense for super peer based P2P networks where identities are distributed in a hierarchical way from super nodes to peers. The identification scheme is based on invitations and assigning a set of identities to each node is based on how they utilized the earlier ones and referral values.
