Cross-layer Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Attacks

Project Summary

This project surveyed existing known vulnerabilities in multimedia peer-to-peer networks. Specifically we looked at problems deriving from the lack of suitable incentives in peer-to-peer networks. A user might choose to withhold upstream bandwidth from another user (thereby saving money if bandwidth is metered) by pretending to lack the resources to provide the QoS required for real-time multimedia applications.
