Abstract :
Networks are subject to attacks from malicious sources. Sending the data securely over the network is one of the most tedious processes. A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network act as both servers and clients of resources. Peer to peer systems are incredibly flexible and can be used for wide range of functions and also a Peer to peer (P2P) system prone to malicious attacks. To provide a security over peer to peer system the self-organizing trust model has been proposed. Here the trustworthiness of the peers has been calculated based on past interactions and recommendations. The interactions and recommendations are evaluated based on importance, recentness, and satisfaction parameters. By this the good peers were able to form trust relationship in their proximity and avoids the malicious peers.
