Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications have recently seen an enormous success and have reached millions of users. The main reason of this success is the anonymity the users enjoy. However, as recent experiences with P2P networks show, this anonymity offers an opportunity to exploit the network for abuses (e.g., the spread of malware). In this paper we extend our previous work on P2PRep, a reputation management protocol for pure P2P networks, in the case of super-peer networks. We present the design and implementation of reputation-aware servents.
