Abstract :
[en] Newscast is a model for information dissemination and mem- bership management in large-scale, agent-based distributed systems. It deploys a simple, peer-to-peer data exchange protocol. The Newscast pro- tocol forms an overlay network and keeps it connected by means of an epidemic algorithm, thus featuring a complex, spatially structured, and dynamically changing environment. It has recently become very popu- lar due to its inherent resilience to node volatility as it exhibits strong self-healing properties. In this paper, we analyze the robustness of the Newscast model when executed in a distributed environment subjected to malicious acts. More precisely, we evaluate the resilience of Newscast against cheating faults and demonstrate that even a few naive cheaters are able to defeat the protocol by breaking the network connectivity. Concrete experiments are performed using a framework that implements both the protocol and the cheating model considered in this work.
