4. Technical Presentation
A novel trust model for Peer-to-Peer systems.
Abstract:
eBay, an online auction system, introduced a feedback system,
which assigns trust value to participants, so as to increase
trust and trustworthiness in the community. Feedback represents
a publicly available prediction of the future behaviour of a
potential partner, which is fundamental in environments where
partners change and are often unknown.
We modelled a new trust mechanism, especially adapted
to the needs of peer-to-peer systems, where
the goods exchanged are digital and duplicable at no cost.
