Together with Ludovic Courtès link to the GNUnet presentation which describes a technique to cope with malicious nodes I'm starting to see where the issues are. The context in which I am exploring this topic is a collaborative search software ( http://seeks-project.info/ ). I initialy thought I could try to understand the DHT security without consideration to the context in which it is used. However, what I've read so far leads me to think that the strategies deployed to cope with security threats highly depends on the usage. There does not seem to be universal best practices that addresses all issues. Do you think my impression correct ? Cheers
