Detailed explanation-1: -The client-server network model provides better security because the file access is controlled by the server, not the nodes. A p2p network is more vulnerable. The peers act like the server and the consumer at the same time which is why file access can’t be handled centrally, the security is handled by the users.
Detailed explanation-2: -The client server networks work on sharing of information while the peer to peer networks focuses on connectivity. Centralized servers get used to store data in the client server network while each peer gets its data in the peer to peer networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a peer-to-peer network, each node is able to request and respond to the services. Compared to a client-server network, the peer-to-peer network is less secure, and it becomes trickier if the number of clients increases. In a peer-to-peer network, there are multiple services-providing nodes hence it is more reliable.
Detailed explanation-4: -You can use SSL to secure the connection (link) P2P network uses Homomorphic Hashing to verify file integrity (link) Data like IP address, username, Operating System version, etc. might leak (link)
