Robust Node ID Assignment for Mobile P2P Networks
Abstract
The advancement of portable mobile wireless devices such as smart-phones, PDA, etc., brought mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) as an extension of traditional P2P networks to provide efficient, low-cost communication among them in a cellular network. It is challenging to assign a unique identifier to each user, as an adversary can target to disrupt the P2P system, by carefully selecting user IDs or obtaining many pseudo-IDs. This work proposes a robust node-ID assignment mechanism for secure peer joining in mobile P2P system called PJ-Sec. PJ-Sec facilitates to generate nodeID for a joining peer by a collaborative effort of an existing peer (within the vicinity) and pre-selected vicinity head. PJ-Sec is formally analyzed using AVISPA model checker and found to be attack resistant.
