An Investigation of Flow-based Algorithms for Sybil Defense

abstract: Distributed systems are prone to attacks, called Sybil attacks, wherein an adversary may generate an unbounded number of bogus identities to gain control over the system. In this thesis, an algorithm, DownhillFlow, for mitigating such attacks is presented and tested experimentally. The tr...
