Abstract

In the P2PPS (P2P (peer-to-peer) type of topic-based PS (publish/subscribe)) model, each peer process (peer) publishes and subscribes event messages which are characterized by topics with no centralized coordinator. An illegal information flow occurs if an event message \(e_j\) published by a peer \(p_j\) carries information on some topics into the peer \(p_i\), which the target peer \(p_i\) is not allowed to subscribe. In our previous studies, the SBS, TBS, and FS-H protocols are proposed to prevent illegal information flow among peers by banning event messages. In the protocols, the number of topics kept in every peer monotonically increases. Hence, most of the event messages are banned. In this paper, we newly consider the P2PPSO (P2PPS with object concept) model where the number of topics kept in every peer increases and decreases each time objects obtained by every peer are updated. In order to prevent illegal information flow from occurring in the P2PPSO system, we newly propose a TOBS (topics of objects-based synchronization) and TSOBS (topics and states of objects-based synchronization) protocols. In the TOBS protocol, it is simpler to detect illegal information flow than the TSOBS protocol. On the other hand, the fewer number of event messages are banned in the TSOBS protocol than the TOBS protocol.
