Abstract
AbstractA critical requirement in overlay networks is to have unique, undeniable and verifiable identifiers for each node in the system.Without them, every node in such an overlay network would be able to impersonate other nodes or create an arbitrary amount of bogus nodes. Thus, a node or a group of nodes, could easily gain control over an overlay network by orchestrating such artificial nodes. Most proposed solutions are based on public key cryptography and public key infrastructures. Unfortunately, the process of issuing and distributing certificates is not solved for large scale overlay networks. In this work we provide a solution for creating unique, undeniable and verifiable identifiers for large-scale overlay networks using mechanisms provided by the Trusted Computing Group. We facilitate the use of a unique asymmetric key pair which has been created on a Trusted Platform Module and is vouched for by the manufacturer.KeywordsOverlay NetworkAuthentication ProtocolMutual AuthenticationReputation SystemTrusted Platform ModuleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
