Abstract :
Since the early days of file sharing, the quest for incentives persuading users to contribute resources to P2P networks exists. Crediting and debiting users´ accounts for consumptions and contributions is surely one possibility. But how to do this without enormous additional overhead or infrastructure? We depict a solution to this question by describing the establishment of a lightweight, secure prepaid charging mechanism within a P2P network
