A Point-Based Incentive Scheme for P2P Reputation Management Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an incentive scheme for P2P resource management systems which encourages the users to evaluate the “trustworthiness of evaluations” given by the other users. More concretely, in the proposed scheme, each user earns a reward from other users by evaluating their evaluations, and a user which acquires a large number of evaluations will be granted a right to access high quality services. To this end, we introduce the notion of evaluation points which mediates the “evaluation of services” and the “evaluation of evaluations.” The performance of the proposed incentive scheme is evaluated by simulation. The simulation results indicate that: 1) the proposed scheme certainly encourages the users to conduct an evaluation of evaluations, 2) it encourages users to provide high quality evaluations of the services, and 3) a rational strategy for the users is to repeat evaluation of evaluations after conducting a certain number of evaluations of services.

Reputation Systems for Anonymous Networks
We present a reputation scheme for a pseudonymous peer-to-peer (P2P) system in an anonymous network. Misbehavior is one of the biggest problems in pseudonymous P2P systems, where there is little incentive for proper behavior. In our scheme, using ecash for reputation points, the reputation of each user is closely related to his real identity rather than to his current pseudonym. Thus, our schem...
متن کاملReputation-based Trust Management in Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems
Trust is required in file sharing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems to achieve better cooperation among peers and reduce malicious uploads. In reputation-based P2P systems, reputation is used to build trust among peers based on their past transactions and feedbacks from other peers. In these systems, reputable peers will usually be selected to upload requested files, decreasing significantly malicious...
متن کاملGGRA: a grouped gossip-based reputation aggregation algorithm
An important issue in P2P networks is the existence of malicious nodes that decreases the performance of such networks. Reputation system in which nodes are ranked based on their behavior, is one of the proposed solutions to detect and isolate malicious (low ranked) nodes. Gossip Trust is an interesting previously proposed algorithm for reputation aggregation in P2P networks based on t...
متن کاملAgent-based Modeling for Differentiated Admission in P2P systems Using Evolutionary Game Theory Focused on Ownership Reputation
P2P systems, which are composed of unknown agents, have many problems in data sharing and creating. The main problem is concerned with the absence of the proper incentive mechanism for cooperating and feeding the systems. If the participants of P2P systems are not supported by proper incentives for data sharing and creating, the systems will starve from resources through extinction of sharers a...
متن کاملA 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...
