Abstract. As grid sizes increase, the need for self-organization and dynamic reconfigurations is becoming more and more important, and therefore the convergence of grid computing ...
Peer-to-peer networks (P2P) are beginning to form the infrastructure of future applications. One of the problems with unstructured P2P networks is their scalability limitation. Th...
In this paper, we first propose a novel Public License Infrastructure (PLI) that uses cryptographic threshold secret sharing schemes to provide decentralized public license service...
Despite the advantages offered by pure Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks (e.g. robustness and fault tolerance), a crucial requirement is to guarantee basic security properties, such as ...
Peer-to-peer systems and applications are distributed systems without any centralized control. P2P systems form the basis of several applications, such as file sharing systems and ...
