Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks consume the most bandwidth in the current Internet and file sharing accounts for the majority of the P2P traffic. Thus it is important for a P2P file sharing application to be efficient in bandwidth consumption. Bandwidth consumption as much as downloaded file sizes is inevitable, but those in file search and bad downloads, e.g. wrong, corrupted, or malicious file downloads, are overheads. In this paper, we target to reduce these overheads even in the presence of high volume of malicious users and their bad files. Sybil attacks are the example of such hostile environment. Sybil attacker creates a large number of identities (Sybil nodes) and unfairly influences the system. When a large portion of the system is subverted, either in terms of the number of users or the number of files shared in the system, the overheads due to the bad downloads rapidly increase. We propose ELiSyR, a file search protocol that can tolerate such a hostile environment. ELiSyR uses social networks for P2P file search and finds benign files in 71% of searches even when more than half of the users are malicious. Furthermore, ELiSyR provides similar success with less bandwidth than other general efforts against Sybil attacks. We compare our algorithm to SybilGuard, SybilLimit and EigenTrust in terms of bandwidth consumption and the likelihood of bad downloads. Our algorithm shows lower bandwidth consumption, similar chances of bad downloads and fairer distribution of computation loads than these general efforts. In return, our algorithm takes more rounds of search than them. However the time required for search is usually much less than the time required for downloads, so the delay in search is justifiable compared to the cost of bad downloads and subsequent re-search and downloads.

Research about P2P system have recently a lot of attention in connection of form that pass early Centralized P2P and is Decentralized P2P. Specially, Structured P2P System of DHT base have a attention to scalability and systematic search and high search efficiency by routing. But, Structured P2P System of DHT base have problem, file can be located only their unique File IDs that although user may wish to search for files using a set descriptive keyword or do not have the exact File ID of the files. This paper propose extended-CAN mechanism that creates File ID of Contents base and use KID and CKD for commonness keyword processing to support keyword search in P2P System of DHT base.

Recently, DHT-based Structured P2P System have a attention to scalability and providing efficient lookup by routing. Retrieving content of DHT-based P2P require knowledge of the exact identifier of sharing file. But user may wish to search for sharing file using descriptive keyword or content. To resolve the problem, this paper propose Extended-CAN mechanism to support keyword search. We defined content-based keyword and identifier of sharing file, and PLS extended to KID and CKD for keyword, common keyword processing. As a result, Extended-CAN mechanism provide efficient keyword search for DHT-based Structured P2P System.

In the connected environment by network, clients shared resources as that requested the file that a server had, but P2P system is alternative because of the overload of servers. To improve the performance of this P2P system, we are studying about that. In this study, we can improve a usability for users using P2P search system, and suggest a group search algorithm based on a preprocessing search.

Current P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications have the limited functions such as file search and transfer between peers and have the limitations such as trust problem on search results, copyright problem, and profitable business model problem. For a P2P application to be used as a business platform for the distribution of various multimedia contents, this paper proposes an extended P2P application architecture and its prototype system including distributed collaborative filtering, automated price negotiation system, and payment mechanism.

A special feature of P2P distributed system isn't always the guarantee of online status for peers. In other words we want to download the file from the peer when we use the P2P system but it sometimes caused this system to fail the download. Many studies to resolve this problem depend on re-transmission method. It caused to lower performance so we have to resolve this problem. In this study, we analysis the average usage time of P2P application user and raise the resource transmission guarantee to apply the selection criteria of resource supplier. Moreover the combinations of distributed object replication techniques, the role to enhance the data transmission opportunity of high popularity resource. will cause this search algorithm to advance.

현재 인터넷 등의 네트워크와 개인 컴퓨터의 발전으로 인하여 피어(peer)들 간의 파일을 공유하는 시스템에 대한 필요가 증가하고 있다. 이 피어들 간에는 이질적 시스템과 환경을 가지고 있다. 이러한 피어들 간의 자료교환은 서로의 의미가 달라지며, 사용자가 원하는 자료를 쉽게 찾을 수 없다. 이 문제점의 해결을 위해 현재 웹에서 사용자가 원하는 자료에 보다 정확하게 응답을 하기 위해 사용되는 온톨로지 개념을 P2P 시스템에 적용하여 각 시스템 또는 사용자간의 시맨틱 갭(Semantic Gap)을 없애고, 이를 위한 파일 온톨로지를 본 논문은 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 RDF를 사용하여 파일 온톨로지 개념을 현재의 P2P 파일 공유 시스템 중 하나인 Tapestry[1]에 RDF를 적용하여 자료 검색 시 사용자가 원하는 자료를 보다 정확하게 응답할 수 있는 효율적인 파일 검색 시스템을 제안한다.

In this paper, we have designed the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework using mobile agents to share efficiently resources as media file. Most of the P2P applications are used on the wire network. We propose the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework. Proposed P2P platform is based on JXTA of Sun Microsystems. But JXTA is pure peer-to-peer network model, so it sends message other peers as broadcast style to request resources. In this way, there are some problems as massage overload, bandwidth loss, etc. In order to solve this problem, we propose a hybrid peer-to-peer network model using mobile agent. Proposed scheme also solve existing hybrid pEp model's flaws which have the delay and low rate due to concentrated server. In proposed scheme, mobile agents that have autonomy and mobility are used to search the location of resources. Besides, mobile agents could solve the loss problem of the search result. To improve P2P QoS(Quality of Service), we could monitor peer's state information using PIP(Peer Information Protocol) of JXTA.

As the mobile technology advances, file searching among the mobile device users becomes more important. In this paper, we propose the uniform grid, greedy, and MIS P2P systems that have double-layered topology to search files efficiently for mobile ad-hoc networks. In these systems, peers are classified into two groups, super-peers and sub-peers, and each super-peer manages its neighboring sub-peers. In the proposed systems, each super-peer maintains the appropriate information of its sub-peers so that when a peer requests a file, the request is sent to its super-peers and then to neighboring super-peers. Hence the proposed systems could avoid multi-broadcasting and reduce network overheads. The experimental results show that the proposed systems outperform a single-layered P2P system in terms of the average number of messages to find target files. Especially the MISsystem improves by reducing the average number of messages by 48.9% while maintaining the same search accuracy.
