ZRR-P2P: Zone-Based Mechanism for Data Replication and Research Optimization in Unstructured P2P Systems

Peer-to-peer systems (P2P) have enjoyed great popularity in terms of sharing content in distributed environments. In mobile P2P networks, how to improve the efficiency of the resource lookup has been an important topic of research. Among the existing solutions, we find lookup mechanisms based on data replication that can increase data availability and reduce search latency. On the other side, these solutions have certain limits such as in the selection of resources to be replicated and in increasing the storage space of peers with additional data. Therefore, this work ZRR-P2P (Zone-based mechanism for data Replication and Research optimization in P2P) comes with the aim of partitioning the network zone on sub-zones and of replicating popular data shared in the network. Thus, in order to improve the research process without increasing storage space of peers. The simulation results show that our strategy manages to increase data availability and improve the search process in terms of hops count and search latency, while avoiding increasing the storage space of peers.

Analysis of threats and security issues evaluation in mobile P2P networks

Technically, mobile P2P network system architecture can consider as a distributed architecture system (like a community), where the nodes or users can share all or some of their own software and hardware resources such as (applications store, processing time, storage, network bandwidth) with the other nodes (users) through Internet, and these resources can be accessible directly by the nodes in that system without the need of a central coordination node. The main structure of our proposed network architecture is that all the nodes are symmetric in their functions. In this work, the security issues of mobile P2P network system architecture such as (web threats, attacks and encryption) will be discussed deeply and then we propose different approaches and we analysis and evaluation of these mobile P2P network security issues and submit some proposal solutions to resolve the related problems with threats and other different attacks since these threats and attacks will be serious issue as networks are growing up especially with mobility attribute in current P2P networks.
