Abstract

A peer to Peer network, which is a part of highly distributed systems, contains a diverse number of nodes to form a network. These nodes are used to exchange content containing audio, video, data and various kinds of files without the use of a single server as in Client server architecture. Such type of files makes the network highly vulnerable. In the area of peer to peer security, there are five goals - Anonymity, Availability, File authentication, Access Control and fair trading. This paper identifies the security problems and proposes some of the solutions to these threats.
