Many defenses with strong security guarantees have been proposed; however, the most-recent survey is over a decade old. This paper delivers an updated review of recent theoretical advances that address classic threats, such as the Sybil and routing attacks, while highlighting how emerging trends -- such as machine learning, social networks, and dynamic systems -- pose new challenges and drive novel solutions. We evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these solutions and suggest directions for future research.","short_abstract":"Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are a cornerstone of modern computing, and their security is an active area of research.
