• wherein the supply medium is electricity, gas, or fuel,
• wherein the peer-to-peer application is a decentral register readable by all-participants,
• wherein the peer-to-peer network comprises a plurality of nodes, and
• wherein the same peer-to-peer application is implemented on each node,
• wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means, wherein at least one means of the encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means is configured to store at least a supply medium exchange release message, and
• wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises at least one reputation store and/or is configured to access at least one reputation store,
• wherein the reputation store comprises at least one of the peer-to-peer identification of at least one mobile unit and/or the peer-to-peer identification of at least one supply medium charging station together with a reputation factor, and
• wherein the peer-to-peer application is configured to update the at least one reputation factor based on a validation result.

A supply medium transmission connection in the form of a charging cable, comprising:

• a first supply medium port corresponding to a supply medium exchange interface of a mobile unit in form of a vehicle,
• a further supply medium port corresponding to a supply medium exchange interface of a supply medium exchange station,
• wherein the first supply medium port and the further supply medium port are connected by a supply medium channel configured to transmit a supply medium in form of electricity,
• at least one first peer-to-peer module assigned to the mobile unit and configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network,
• wherein the first peer-to-peer module is configured to cause a generation of a supply medium exchange release message for releasing of the exchange of the supply medium between the mobile unit and the supply medium exchange station by means of the peer-to-peer application, such that the supply medium exchange release message is generated after a positive verification check of the first peer-to-peer module performed by means of the peer-to-peer application and by at least a part of the nodes of the peer-to-peer network,
• wherein the peer-to-peer application is a decentral register readable by all participants,
• wherein the peer-to-peer network comprises a plurality of nodes, and
• wherein the same peer-to-peer application is implemented on each node,
• wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means, wherein at least one means of the encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means is configured to store at least a supply medium exchange release message, and
• wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises at least one reputation store and/or is configured to access at least one reputation store,
• wherein the reputation store comprises at least one of the peer-to-peer identification of at least one mobile unit and/or the peer-to-peer identification of at least one supply medium charging station together with a reputation factor, and
• wherein the peer-to-peer application is configured to update the at least one reputation factor based on a validation result.

A method, comprising causing, by a first peer-to-peer module, a generation of a supply medium exchange release message for releasing of the exchange of the supply medium between a mobile unit and a supply medium exchange station by means of the peer-to-peer application, wherein the peer-to-peer application is configured to generate the supply medium exchange release message after a positive verification check of the first peer-to-peer module performed by means of the peer-to-peer application and by at least a part of the nodes of the peer-to-peer network, wherein the mobile unit is a vehicle, wherein the supply medium is electricity, gas, or fuel, wherein the peer-to-peer application is a decentral register readable by all participants, wherein the peer-to-peer network comprises a plurality of nodes, and wherein the same peer-to-peer application is implemented on each node, wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means, wherein at least one means of the encryption means and/or signature means and/or verification means is configured to store at least a supply medium exchange release message, and wherein the peer-to-peer application comprises at least one reputation store and/or is configured to access at least one reputation store, wherein the reputation store comprises at least one of the peer-to-peer identification of at least one mobile unit and/or the peer-to-peer identification of at least one supply medium charging station together with a reputation factor, and wherein the peer-to-peer application is configured to update the at least one reputation factor based on a validation result.
