Abstract: P2P network is open, anonymous, dynamical in contrast with conventional network. It’s full of dishonesty, deceit, selfishness. It’s necessary to build a robust security infrastructure system. The one important module of security infrastructure is to identify the users in transactions. This paper will propose an identification solution based on PKI. In our algorithm, the peer generates their public-private key pairs by themselves, to issue certificates, and perform authentication without any centralized services. It can realize the identification, meanwhile keep peers anonymous. Moreover, it can limit the quantity of ID that a user applies for; alleviate the risk of Sybil attack.

Abstract: In an open P2P network environment, it’s full of various malicious actions ,dishonesty, deceit, selfish and so on. So it’s necessary to build a robust trust manage system to keep the community run healthily. There are mainly two kinds of trust system, one is based on Global Trust. the system maintains a Global Trust value for every peer. The other one is based on peer itself, it rates the object peer trust according to historical transactions between them or recommendation from the other peers. Because the second trust manage system mainly bases on Fuzzy algorithm, we call it Fuzzy Trust system. The paper will focus on Fuzzy Trust system, we will introduce the related algorithms and involve Outlier Identification algorithm to alleviate the risk from malicious action.
