Sybil Attack is an attack occurring in peer-to-peer networks where the network operates multiple identities actively at the same time and undermines the authority/power in reputation systems. The objective of the attack is to gain the majority of influence in the network to carry out illegal actions in the system. A a computer has the capability to create and operate multiple identities. To outsiders, these fake identities seem to be real.
