EM-trust: A Robust Reputation Algorithm for Peer-to-peer Marketplaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed EM-trust, a robust algorithm for evaluating reputations in peer-to-peer marketplaces. EM-trust is robust in the sense that it is far less susceptible than are previous algorithms to errors due to inaccurate feedback. Moreover, a Bayesian version of EM-trust seems ideally suited to real peer-to-peer marketplaces, in which participants are unlikely to have had previous interactions. The properties of both EMtrust variants as well as eBay’s “percent positive feedback” algorithm have been evaluated in a marketplace simulator designed to model a real peer-to-peer marketplace.

Robust Reputations for Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces
We have developed a suite of algorithms to address two large problems confronting reputation systems for large peer-topeer markets: data sparseness and inaccurate feedback. To handle sparse data, we propose a Bayesian version of the well-known Percent Positive Feedback system. To mitigate the effect of inaccurate feedback – particularly retaliatory negative feedback – we propose EM-trust, which...
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 کاملThe challenge of decentralized marketplaces
Online trust systems are playing an important role in to-days world and face various challenges in building them. Billions of dollars of products and services are traded through electronic commerce, files are shared among large peer-to-peer networks and smart contracts can potentially replace paper contracts with digital contracts. These systems rely on trust mechanisms in peer-to-peer networks...
متن کاملTrust Estimation and Aggregation in Peer-to-Peer Network Using Differential Gossip Algorithm
In peer-to-peer networks, free riding is a major problem. Reputation management systems can be used to overcome this problem. Reputation estimation methods generally do not considers the uncertainties in the inputs. We propose a reputation estimation method using BLUE (Best Linear Unbiased estimator) estimator that consider uncertainties in the input variables. Reputation aggregation in peer to...
متن کاملDecoupling Service and Feedback Trust in a Peer-to-Peer Reputation System
Reputation systems help peers decide whom to trust before undertaking a transaction. Conventional approaches to reputation-based trust modeling assume that peers reputed to provide trustworthy service are also likely to provide trustworthy feedback. By basing the credibility of a peer’s feedback on its reputation as a transactor, these models become vulnerable to malicious nodes that provide go...
