  2. Ad-Hoc Peer-to-Peer Networks Personal mobile devices can form ad-hoc networks to autonomously share data and services Work-related projects Multi-player games Social networks Auctions Nodes are both clients and servers No central coordinator Thomas Repantis 2/28

  3. Advantages of Peer-to-Peer Scalability: No central coordinator Reliability: No single point of failure Self-organization: Autonomous decisions to adapt to different loads Resource aggregation: Take advantage of existing resources Successfully deployed for: Distributed Computing (e.g. Seti @, Folding @) File Sharing (e.g. Gnutella, DHTs) Online Gaming (e.g. Playstation) Spam Detection (e.g. SpamNet) Thomas Repantis 3/28

  4. Our Research Question How to enable a peer to decide whether to trust another peer in the absence of a central trust managing authority A puts a level of trust into B means that A estimates the probability of B acting in a way that will allow A to achieve a desired level of satisfaction A can estimate the level of trust to put into B based on B's reputation, built from B's previous interactions Challenges: Information about peer interactions is spread across the network Malicious peers might tamper with reputation information while stored or transmitted Thomas Repantis 4/28

  5. Reputation-Based Trust Management Middleware Requirements Enable peers to identify trustworthy peers for the particular resource and level of trust they require Light-weight, so that the protocol overhead is not hindering peers' interaction Resistant to reputation tampering Resistant to collusions Thomas Repantis 5/28

  6. Our Approach Decentralized trust management middleware for unstructured, ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks, based on reputation Storing the reputation information of a peer in a group of peers not easily identifiable, i.e., its neighbors Reputation piggy-backed on a peer's replies Taking advantage of the lack of network structure to resist collusions and blackmailing Thomas Repantis 6/28

  8. System Model Peers identified by public/private key pairs Provide objects (data or services) Form unstructured, self-organizing network Peer offering an object receives a rating r Reputation R is the sum of ratings Consumer trusts provider if its reputation is higher than the minimum trust level it requires for this particular type of object Thomas Repantis 8/28

  9. Object Discovery Peers search for objects by sending queries to their immediate neighbors Queries are propagated until their TTL expires Matches generate query-hits Every query is identified by a transaction globally unique identifier, TID TID is a random number together with the public key of the peer that produced the query TID is the same for the query, all query-hits, and all ratings produced as a result of the query By caching TIDs, query-hits follow the reverse path of the corresponding queries Thomas Repantis 9/28

  10. Reputation Propagation Every immediate neighbor of a peer, through which a query-hit of the peer travels, is responsible for piggy-backing the reputation of the peer to the query-hit All immediate neighbors are responsible for maintaining and piggy-backing its reputation The reputation reported for a peer is associated with a confidence value, determined by the number of neighbors reporting it After an interaction the consumer sends a signed rating to all producer's neighbors TTL of rating is larger than TTL of query by 1 Rating is verified using the public key contained in query's TID Thomas Repantis 10/28

  14. Against Tampering Attack: Alter neighbor's reputation Countermeasure: Since multiple peers might report a peer's reputation, tampering can be detected. A makes sure reputation of F reported by C and D is the same Q C G Q Q RQH B Q QH QH R A F Q QH R QH R QH D Q H J E I K Thomas Repantis 14/28

  15. Against Tampering Attack: Alter own reputation Countermeasure: A peer does not store its own reputation Attack: Alter rating during transmission Countermeasure: Ratings signed by their creator r C G r r B r r A r F r D r H r J E I K Thomas Repantis 15/28

  16. Against Blackmailing Attack: Peer blackmailing a neighbor to boost its reputation Countermeasure: Peers store their neighbors' reputation and their neighbors store theirs. Single neighbor reporting bogus reputation runs the risk of identification C G Q Q RQH B Q QH QH R A F Q QH R QH R QH D Q H J E I K Thomas Repantis 16/28

  17. Against Multiple Ratings Attack: Submitting multiple positive or negative ratings Countermeasure: No effect, because no corresponding TID stored at the neighbors by a previous query-hit r C G r r B r r r A r F D H r r J E I K Thomas Repantis 17/28

  18. Against Collusions Attack: T wo neighbors boosting each other's reputation Countermeasure: W ould have to cooperate with all their neighbors and they consequently with all their neighbors etc. Q C G Q Q RQH B Q QH QH R A Q F QH R QH R QH D H Q J E I K Thomas Repantis 18/28

  19. Against Collusions Attack: Peer bribing some of its neighbors to boost its reputation and only propagating query-hits through them Countermeasure: Detected by the rest of the neighbors when receiving unexpired ratings for their neighbor, with TIDs of query-hits they had not propagated r C G r r B r r r A r F D H r r J E I K Thomas Repantis 19/28

  20. Against Collusions Attack: Peer bribing all of its neighbors to boost its reputation Countermeasure: A high confidence value requires a high number of bribed neighbors Q C G Q Q RQH B Q QH QH R A Q F QH R QH R QH D H Q J E I K Thomas Repantis 20/28

  21. System Algorithms Selection Algorithm: Per object trust and confidence levels R i ≥ L j C i ≥ K j Rating Algorithm: Binary rating scheme, -1 dissatisfied, +1 satisfied Enable objective interpretation and automatic assignment Initialization Algorithm: Protocols against sybil attacks can be integrated in our middleware to prevent identity changes Thomas Repantis 21/28

  23. Experimental Evaluation Simulated Gnutella unstructured, peer-to- peer networks of thousands of peers using NeuroGrid simulator 3000 types of objects, 30 objects per peer 100 random searches per experiment and average results from 5 measurements Malicious peers claim they have every object they are asked for but they can only cheat undetected once Thomas Repantis 23/28

  24. Variable Percentage of Honest Peers If 1 out of 10 peers is dishonest, 9 out of 10 query-hits are bogus Thomas Repantis 24/28

  25. Variable Number of Peers Dishonest peers can flood even networks of thousands of peers Thomas Repantis 25/28

  26. Related Work Peers polling for opinion of others: P2PRep Reputation certificates signed by raters: RcertPX Reputation stored in anonymous random peers: TrustMe Reputation replicated in a group of peers: EigenTrust Voting on the reputation of objects instead of peers: Credence Identify ratings not corresponding to actual transactions: TrustGuard Thomas Repantis 26/28

  27. Conclusions and Future Work Decentralized trust management middleware for ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks, based on reputation Takes advantage of unstructured topology to make malicious behavior risky Peers are equal and self-organizing Fully distributed, non-intrusive protocol Future work: Investigate the effects of mobility, elaborate on peer selection and rating algorithms Thomas Repantis 27/28
