1. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes. Peer-to-peer networking technology is as old as the Internet itself. High security and privacy risks are involved when using p2p applications like KaZaA, ICQ etc. . With the high speed networks of today it is very important to really know what is going on in your network and which applications is doing what and with whom. If not, there are high possibilities that your network will be used for more or less malicious purposes. Therefore it is interesting to find out if peer to peer applications have found their way behind firewalls. Security issues that can be directly associated with the peer to peer applications. In this project we would like to address the security threats and their counter measure by setting the lab experimental setup. ( Prerequisite : Linux OS)
Students (B. Tech/ M. Tech/ MCA) interested in doing the above projects may contact me at rwsingh@yahoo.com with subject line “Project on “Pear to Peer” Networking ”
