Abstract

We study the problem of securely searching for resources in p2p networks where a constant fraction of the peers may act maliciously. We present two novel hashing-based schemes that can be employed to reliably support and queries, limiting the ability of adversarial nodes to carry out attacks. Our schemes achieve scalability and load balancing and have small authentication overhead. In particular, for a network with peers, resources are securely located with (log ) messages and content from a collection of data items is securely retrieved with (log log) messages.
