Abstract :
In this paper, we suggest a strong peer authentication algorithm that authorizes the peer which requests a service usage of the other peer in super peer based P2P network environment. The proposed peer authentication method, at which public key certificate (PKC) and Kerberos authentication mechanism is applied, enables each peer to perform strong mutual authentication in P2P network environment. The peer mutual authentication is performed by getting authentication ticket and verification it by other peer. Also, the lifetime of a ticket can be controlled by the peer providing services according to each service.
