Towards a Framework for Dynamic Verification of Peer-to-Peer Systems

Ensuring dependability and security of Peer-toPeer (P2P) systems is an intricate task due to the autonomous and volatile nature of peers and the decentralization that characterizes such systems. Dynamic verification provides the means of monitoring aspects of peer behaviour at runtime and the capacity to react to identified violations with the aim of preserving the system in the desired state. Thus, it can provide an extra layer of checking properties like security and dependability and lead to enhanced system resilience in this respect. In this paper, we introduce a framework that supports the dynamic verification of P2P systems.
