Abstract :
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) has become a popular networking method which increases robustness and scalability. However, the distributed and decentralized P2P computing models have some serious security problems which may cause largescale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This paper introduces the P2P system and the DDoS attacks in the particular networking environment. It also discusses the detection and prevention challenges to P2P DDoS attacks.
