Abstract
The systematic study of relevant measures in extenuating Sybil attack by our developed, robust and fortified peer-to-peer system is a fundamental aim in this work. This work was designed to accommodate peer registration phase, ensuring peers satisfied communicated requirement as well as request for connection to the super peer. The coordinating agent module in the network reveal any malicious peer intention to connect with peers, certifying Super Peer dominance as well as no pairing for peer communication on the network. A peer restriction policy was incorporated in this study to guarantee systematic or automatic generation of a Communication Identity Code (CIC) on confirming successful peer registration and display error for peers trying to illegitimately connect on the network. The RSA cryptosystem as well as additional security layer. SHA3-1024 were utilized in assuring a robust and fortified system. The results of this study suggest as well as communicate a robust, reliable, better improvement and developed arrangement to handle Sybil attack in Peer-to-Peer system.
Keywords
Peer-to-peer, Communication Identity Code, RSA, Secure Hash Algorithm.
Conclusion
In this study, we tried to understand peer-to-peer network as well as the security challenges posed by Sybil menace in such system. We delved into Sybil attack pattern in such decentralized as well as unstructured system. The CIC strategic technique was utilized in extenuating numerous illegitimate identities connecting to the network. Our study incorporated SHA3 as additional security layer that proved to be infeasible for any adversary with malicious intention connecting to the network. Lastly, this system is robust and suggest a fortified arrangement in surmounting Sybil menace in peer-to-peer network.
