IMPROVEMENT IN ROUTING TECHNIQUES IN P2P NETWORKS USING A CLOUD SERVICE INTERFACE WITH SECURE MULTIPARTY COMPUTATION
With the advent of latest technology, with every passing day there is an emergence of new domains at every step and the domain of networking is no exception. The interlinking of various computing devices otherwise distributed at different locations results in the P2P (peer to peer) network. Such devices uniquely contribute in the flow of communication and other data in terms of resource sharing viz. content or data (file) sharing even in the absence of any primary or intermediate authority. One of the most common and significant drawbacks in this type of architecture is security compromises amongst peers during the exchange of information. The pivot functioning of DHT-overlay routing protocol is to offer an approach to explore the resources in the peer to peer network. The present paper attempts to propose a routing algorithm to ensure the location of a specific node exploiting the available cloud service interface while achieving secure transaction from one node to another. The paper primarily examines and deals at length with chord protocol executing and utilizing cloud service, SMC (secure multiparty computation) technique as layered approach not only to enhance high security factors while transference of data but also to maintain transparency and reliability at all levels.
