Abstract:
This paper discusses how to model a protocol for the verification of data possession intended to secure a peer-to-peer storage application. The verification protocol is a primitive for storage assessment, and indirectly motivates nodes to behave cooperatively within the application. The capability of the protocol to enforce cooperation between a data holder and a data owner is proved theoretically by modeling the verification protocol as a Bayesian game, and demonstrating that the solution of the game is an equilibrium where both parties are cooperative.
