A survey of unfair rating problem and detection methods in reputation management systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A reputation management system (RMS) is a system that helps users in an online community compute reputation of others. One important issue in this kind of systems is how to eliminate effect of unfair ratings. In this paper we make a survey of how people have solved this problem so far. Beside briefly explaining the solutions, we discuss about pros and cons of every solution and the future research direction on this issue.

A collusion mitigation scheme for reputation systems
Reputation management systems are in wide-spread use to regulate collaborations in cooperative systems. Collusion is one of the most destructive malicious behaviors in which colluders seek to affect a reputation management system in an unfair manner. Many reputation systems are vulnerable to collusion, and some model-specific mitigation methods are proposed to combat collusion. Detection of col...

Evaluation of the effectiveness and robustness of reputation systems is important for the trust research community. However, existing testbeds are mainly simulation based and not flexible to perform robustness evaluation, and none of them is specifically designed to evaluate the robustness of reputation systems against unfair rating attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel comprehensive testb...

Trust, a subject extensively studied in sociology and psychology, has long been known as the driving force for collaboration in social communities. Recently, trust is recognized as a key component in new security tools to defend computer networks, such as rating system in e-commerce networks, peer-to-peer networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks, against possible attacks. ...
متن کاملA Testbed to Evaluate the Robustness of Reputation Systems in E-Marketplaces (Demonstration)
Existing testbeds to evaluate reputation systems are mainly simulation based and are not flexible to perform robustness evaluations against unfair rating attacks. In this paper, we present a novel comprehensive testbed, which can evaluate reputation systems using both simulations and real data. The testbed incorporates sophisticated deception models and unfair rating attack models, and introduc...
