Distributed systems involve numerous entities, many of which haven't previously interacted. A flexible and general-purpose trust management system can maintain current and consistent trustworthiness information for the different entities in a distributed system. P2P computing has emerged as a new distributed computing paradigm of sharing resources available on the Internet.

 

The open and anonymous nature of peer-to-peer (P2P) network makes it an ideal medium for attackers to spread malicious content. The objective of IWTMP2PS is to establish a state of the art for security and trust in P2P systems, and to provide a forum for exchange of ideas between P2P researchers working on trust and security issues.
