In order to achieve these goals, protocols are implemented which aim to allow peers to collaborate efficiently. However, these same protocols can make peers an easy target, as their willingness to collaborate can be susceptible to attackers. While a considerable body of research exists on reducing the vulnerability of peers to attackers, most only consider a file sharing or backup solution context. In this thesis, we look at other forms of collaboration wherein a P2P system can overcome some of the other downsides of centralized solutions, e.g. the privacy concerns.
