AbstractIn peer-to-peer systems, attrition attacks
include both traditional, network-level denial of service attacks as
well as application-level attacks in which malign peers conspire to waste
loyal peers' resources.
We describe several defenses for the LOCKSS peer-to-peer digital
preservation system that help ensure that application-level attrition attacks even
from powerful
adversaries are less effective than simple network-level attacks, and that
network-level attacks must be intense, widespread, and prolonged to
impair the system.
