Abstract
As peer-to-peer (P2P) systems grow in popularity, their benefits begin to appeal to more traditional users, like the military and the enterprise. However, Information Assurance on P2P is currently performed on a case-by-case basis. The solutions proposed, although necessary, have been isolated, focusing on the specific problems at hand for a particular P2P architecture. This paper discusses the benefits that a security-centric simulation platform would provide. While other P2P simulators have long been available, none of them has a focus on security. To this end, we propose a components-based framework to enable experimentation with different security parameters. By using components with well-defined interfaces, we aim to minimize the effort required to use a different strategy for a function, be it routing a message, or finding a peer. The ultimate goal is to be able to compare the systems side-by-side. Our objective is for this framework to provide useful comparison metrics, thus establishing a common test bed for the different security models that exist today for P2P.
