P2P routing table poisoning: A quorum-based sanitizing approach

Consequently, we propose a novel and efficient routing table sanitizing approach that (a) is independent of a specific attack variant, lookup approach or a specific victim set, (b) continuously detects and subsequently removes malicious routing information based on distributed quorum decisions, and (c) efficiently forwards malicious information findings to other peers which allows for progressive global sanitizing. The generalized mechanism shows a high sanitizing accuracy of up to 90% when evaluated against a generalized attack scenario with various adversarial behaviors.
