Trust is the foundation of interpersonal relationship and interaction as in social networks as in real world. Previous researches about the trust between users mainly focus on nonadjacent users in social networks, where the trust between adjacent users is assumed to be known. However, in most social networks, the trust between adjacent users is unknown, that limits the applications of those nonadjacent...
We introduce a trusted self-organized network infrastructure for running anonymous P2P applications, which leverages real-life social links and the basic need for privacy that each individual converts into a carefully built structure dubbed Personal Social Graph (PSG). The PSG is a list owned by each person (enacted by a node in the infrastructure graph), with entries that represent strict trust relationships...
In peer-to-peer content delivery systems, such as BitTorrent, there may exist nodes that are non-cooperative and do not contribute their upload bandwidth to the system while still downloading content from others. The current widely used countermeasures against this freeriding behavior have been shown to be ineffective. In this paper, we address the problem by leveraging the trust latent in the social...
In this paper, we present a social network based network communication architecture, Davis Social Links (DSL). DSL uses the trust and relationships inherent to human social networks to provide an enhanced communication architecture for future Internet designs. We begin with a conceptual discussion of how future network architectures can leverage social networks. Next, we describe the DSL architecture...
This paper proposes a model based on both direct reciprocity and the use of social network structures to incentive cooperation in human societies. The absence of third-party reputation assures that very few opportunities are left for lying and misreporting of information by the members of the community. Social relationships are built according to the criterion that nodes seek to interact with others...
To make the Internet today more connective with better performance, we developed the SoftInternet system, which consists of application layer proxies operated in P2P structure. To keep malicious peers out of the system in the beginning, we propose the model for admission control policy based on trust friend recommendations in social networks. We simulate the model to analyze the parameters and its...
Induced by computing of more general networks, such as social networks, trust has been shown to have fundamental effects on the dynamics of evolution. Inspired this, we derive the dynamics governing the evolution of such a system, P2P network, starting from fundamental individual level of trust. We show that how computing is modeled based on game theory and how the ideas of evolutionary theory apply...
