Keeping Peers Honest in EigenTrust
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fundamental consideration in designing successful trust scores in a peer-to-peer system is the self-interest of individual peers. We propose a strategyproof partition mechanism that provides incentives for peers to share files, is non-manipulable by selfish interests, and approximates trust scores based on EigenTrust[5]. The basic idea behind the partition mechanism is that the peers are partitioned into peer groups and incentives are structured so that a peer only downloads from peers in one particular peer group. When peers are myopic, we show that the total error in the trust values decreases exponentially with the number of peer groups, but when peers plan for the future, the total error decreases linearly with the number of peer groups. There is a direct tradeoff here between approximating EigenTrust well and keeping the trust values we are approximating useful.

A Priori Trust Vulnerabilities in EigenTrust
We review the motivations underlying the design of the EigenTrust [4] algorithm for trust management in P2P file sharing networks, then illustrate through a simulated P2P network how EigenTrust’s reliance on pre-trusted peers undermines its other security requirements and can lead to severely compromised networks. We then explore a potential alternative to the use of pre-trusted peers, and demo...
متن کاملIncentives for Combatting Freeriding on P2P Networks
We address the freerider problem on P2P networks. We first propose a specific participation metric, which we call a peer’s EigenTrust score. We show that EigenTrust scores accurately capture several different participation criteria. We then propose an incentive scheme that may be used in conjunction with any numerical participation metric. We show that, when these incentives are used in conjunc...
متن کاملAn EigenTrust-based Hybrid Trust Model in P2P File Sharing Networks
Reputation systems have been proposed to distinguish malicious peers and ensure the quality of services in P2P networks. However, only relying on global reputation scores to assess the reliability of file providers can weaken the subjective opinions of file requesters, which is vulnerable to some malicious attacks, e.g., camouflage attack. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a nove...

As a concept stemmed from social field, we argued that, in P2P networks, peers’ recommendation behaviors and functional behaviors should be explicitly separated, thus we propose the HopRec scheme which uses hop-based recommendation ability to improve the accuracy of reputation ranking in P2P networks. Our contributions lie in the following aspects: firstly, we adopt the simple but effective ide...
متن کاملA Comparative Evaluation of Trust Models in P2P Networks
Peer to Peer (P2P) networks have been widely used in recent years in various of applications such as file sharing, content distribution, and e-commerce. At the same time, there were a number of attacks on the reputation mechanisms in these P2P networks. These attacks intend to manipulate or misuse the reputation systems so that ratings on certain peers are biased or ignored. Many approaches in ...
