RESUMO
P2P live streaming applications have great potential for improvements in terms of popularity as well as quality. However, they are subject to pollution attacks, in which a malicious user tampers with audio/video of streams in order to trick other users. The authentication of blocks in a stream allows the detection of pollution in received content and can lead to the identification of malicious users. The literature includes several proposals of light digital signature schemes and amortization schemes. Our work, unlike previous ones, compares both amortization schemes and light signature schemes under di erent perspectives of transmission quality (convencional and high definition videos) in P2P live streaming by formulating equations for them. For such, it quantitatively compares overheads and security levels during P2P streaming sessions, identifying research challenges to be faced. In particular, to assess the viability of such schemes, we defined a coe cient that takes into account the total transmission time and computational cost provided by such scheme. As one of the novel findings of our analysis, the scheme PARM2 showed the best performance among light signature schemes. With respect to amortization, Linear Digests was the most e cient. Finally, we analyzed a solution based on the amortization of a light signature. From this particular analysis, we observed that the authentication is only feasible in conventional transmissions with low and medium security leves. In addition, the amortization scheme Linear Digests must be used in isolation only in conventional transmissions. Finally, the scheme PARM2, if used alone, has no acceptable coe cient values for the studied scenarios.
