A fuzzy-based system for evaluation of trustworthiness for P2P communication in JXTA-overlay

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy-based trustworthiness system for P2P Communications in JXTA-Overlay. This system decides the Peer Reliability (PR) considering three parameters: Actual Behaviour Criterion (ABC), Reputation (R) and Peer Disconnections (PD). We evaluate the proposed system by computer simulations. The simulation results have shown that when there are too many peer disconnections, although the reputation and the ABC are improved, the peer reliability remains very low. For few peer disconnections, peer reliability is increased with the increasing of ABC, R and PD and the system have a good performance. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
