Efficient Secured Data Lookup and Multicast Protocols with Anonymity in RC-Based Two-level Hierarchical Structured P2P Network

摘要

In this paper, we have considered a recently reported 2-level non-DHT-based structured P2P network. It is an interest-based architecture. Residue Class (RC) based on modular arithmetic has been used to realize the overlay topology. Such an architecture has been the choice because it offers low latency in both inter or intra group communications. In the present work, we have proposed efficient ways to make these already existing communication protocols secured. In addition, we have extended these protocols further to include anonymity as well.
