The document describes the SORT peer-to-peer trust model which aims to decrease malicious activity by establishing trust relationships among peers based on their interactions. The model involves peers uploading and downloading files, calculating trust and recommendation metrics based on interactions, and observing peers to identify strangers and acquaintances in order to isolate malicious peers and form trusted groups. Key components of the model include modules for service creation, peer establishment, file sharing, and calculating recommendation and trust metrics.
