Reputation Systems for Anonymous Networks

چکیده
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 scheme allows an honest user to switch to a new pseudonym keeping his good reputation, while hindering a malicious user from erasing his trail of evil deeds with a new pseudonym.

Trust Management in an Ad hoc Network of Cellular Phones used in Emergency Conditions
We study the unique trust management, and more precisely reputation management and revocation of malicious ad hoc nodes used for emergency communications. Unlike in centralized systems, reputation management and revocation in ad hoc networks is non-trivial. This difficulty is due to the fact that the nodes have to collaboratively calculate the reputation value of a particular node and then revo...

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...

P2P networks have become increasingly popular in the recent years. However, their open, distributed and anonymous nature makes them very vulnerable against malicious users who provide bad responses to requests from other peers. Motivated by this observation, various solutions for distributed reputation systems have been presented recently. In this paper, we describe the first reputation system ...

The review process is reputation-based and provides better anonymity pr...
متن کاملReputation in P2P Anonymity Systems
Decentralized anonymity systems tend to be unreliable, because users must choose nodes in the network without knowing the entire state of the network. Reputation systems promise to improve reliability by predicting network state. In this paper we focus on anonymous remailers and anonymous publishing, explain why the systems can benefit from reputation, and describe our experiences designing rep...
