7 Abstract Over the past few years, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have grown extensively and dramatically changed large-scale file transfer. One of the most popular P2P network is the BitTorrent system. BitTorrent can efficiently distribute large files by optimizing the use of network bandwidth and providing scalability. Due to the open and anonymous nature of P2P systems BitTorrent also provides an ideal environment for distribution of malicious, low quality, or doctored information. A number of reputation systems, including P2PRep with its successors XRep and X 2 Rep, had been proposed to address security weaknesses of Gnutella P2P file sharing networks. Although it has been claimed that these methods are also applicable to the other file sharing networks, it is not clear how to achieve this task. Moreover, some of the shortcomings of these reputation systems such as online-polling only and cold-start may be exploited by malicious attackers. In this paper, we propose a reputation system, called X 2BT Rep, which is an extension of the X 2 Rep and for BitTorrent network. We show that the proposed system improves the security and the quality of information distributed over P2P networks. v
8 Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to make a grateful acknowledgement to Rei Safavi-Naini, my supervisor, for pointing me to the right direction on my research, Network Security in Peer to Peer System. During this research, she provided me many valuable advices and constant support. Also, my sincere appreciation goes to Willy Susilo, my co-supervisor, for his guidance through the past two years of chaos and confusion on my study and life. Moreover, I am thankful to Juliet Richardson, International Study Program Coordinator, for her carefully reading the draft and offering grammar correcting and writing suggestions. Additionally, my thanks go to all staff in my Faculty, School of Information Technology and Computer Science, for their offering many facilities, including space,soft and hardware, telephone, etc. to support my research. Furthermore, I appreciated my family and friends for their encouragement helping me to finish this research. vi
