Monitoring Security and Dependability in Mobile P2P Systems
George Spanoudakis · 2008
Ensuring the dependability and security of mobile P2P systems is an intricate task due to the autonomous and decentralised nature of such systems. In this paper, we present a framework that provides increased support for security and dependability properties by monitoring the compliance of the operation of mobile P2P applications with them at runtime. The framework performs monitoring driven by policies specified for the individual peers in a P2P application and decouples the monitoring process from the operation of the application, to increase its resilience and avoid adverse effects on its performance.
