Abstract

Secure and efficient trust model is one of vital means for guaranteeing data authenticity in P2P network. An anonymous trustful-agents-based trust model is proposed in this paper, which comes from construction approach of trust relations in the social network. This model uses several public/private key pairs and onion routing, as a result, which is capable of commendably guaranteeing peer anonymity and data authenticity. In addition, analysis and simulation results testify that this model can effectively restrain several typical security attacks, such as pretend, slander and exaggerate.
