with the increasing development of Peer-to-Peer technology
secure issues have become more and more prominent for Peer-to-Peer networks.Peer-to-Peer networks have some new characteristics
such as decentralized
dynamic characteristics
and large scales
which makes the traditional internet security technology unsuitable for Peer-to-Peer networks.At present
Peer-to-Peer networks security researches mainly focus on the trust management and authentication.However
there is little research on access control mechanisms for Peer-to-Peer networks.In this paper
a role-based access control model is combined with Peer-to-Peer trust mechanism
and then an access control model based on trust and role for Peer-to-Peer Networks is proposed.Finally
under the Peer-to-Peer file-sharing environments
the Peer-to-Peer access control prototype system is designed and implemented.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme not only can well adapt to the decentralized and dynamic Peer-to-Peer network environments
but also can efficiently protect the safety of the resources and users.
