Abstract

Secure joining process has become the most challenging problem in P2P system. This paper presents a joining process with security in P-Grid system including authentication of entry peer and new peer. The core idea to ensure security authentication is to use multiple consultant peers and a quorum-based method to make a decision. From preliminary analysis of the process, high successful probability of authentication will be obtained with honest peers in majority. Also Byzantine fault will be tolerated if a quorum is set well.
