Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are decentralized, self-organizing distributed
systems that cooperate to exchange data. A P2P network offers a scalable and
fault-tolerant means of locating nodes anywhere on a network without
maintaining a huge amount of routing state. This permits for a variety of
applications beyond simple file sharing. Millions of users now participate
in these systems and the user bases are diffusing broadly. P2P computing is
perhaps the most significant development in computing since the emergence of
web. So far, the success of P2P paradigms has been primarily in traditional
wired network environments. With the advance of modern wireless and mobile
communications, there is a growing interest for mobile users to participate
in P2P services anywhere anytime through their mobile handheld devices.
However, the open and anonymous nature of P2P network makes it an ideal
medium for attackers to spread malicious content. As a result, widespread
and unrestricted deployment of P2P systems exposed a number of security
vulnerabilities. Furthermore, a number of trust and reputation issues occur
in P2P networks as trust is a fundamental consideration for growth and
stability of systems. Hence, making P2P systems more "secure" is an
important challenge.

The research topics related to the P2P require development of new methods
and techniques, which offer clients an efficient and secured access to
resources, proficient distribution of resources, decentralization and
self-organization. Innovations of P2P systems proffer many interesting
avenues of research in a variety of areas in computing. For this special
issue, we are pleased to invite original and high quality submissions
addressing recent developments in P2P computing with special focus on trust,
reputation and security issues such as free riding, Sybil attacks,
authentication, nature-inspired approaches etc...
