采用排名反馈的P2P名誉评价模型

P2P网络中的节点很可能从另外的节点那里收到质量很差的服务和信息,名誉评价是解决该问题的常见方法.基于评分反馈的P2P名誉计算机制存在下述缺点:无法区分恶意评价和诚实节点给出错误评价间的差别;需要对评分可信度进行二次评价,使名誉计算速度减慢;用数字来表示节点名誉的方式不够自然.实际上,名誉评价的用途是确定节点可信度的相...

Reputation Model with Feedback of Ranking for P2P Systems

Some peers may receive service and information of low-quality from other peers in peer-to-peer (or P2P) networks. Reputation evaluation is the normal method used to reduce the above phenomena. P2P reputation, based on score feedback, is defective because it can not distinguish the malicious feedback from the erring feedback returned by honest peers. It needs long time to converge the reputation and evaluate feedback. It is inflexible and unnatural to depict the reputation of a peer through a lot of numbers. In fact, the reputation is used to determine the rank of the peers. A reputation model called RbRf (reputation based ranking feedback) based on the rank feedback, is presented in this paper. Mathematical models unfolds in this paper show that the influence of erring feedbacks attenuates with the exponential function of RbRf. The influence of unintended malicious feedbacks is attenuated with the polynomial function in RbRf. The intended collusive feedbacks are counteracted by the correct information introduced by these feedbacks. In summary, the defection of score feedback, such as the need of a second evaluation of the trust of feedback, does not in RbRf any longer because the RbRf uses rank feedback, instead of score feedback, and the RbRf can achieve a better effect when resisting to malicious attacks. All results are verified by experimental data.
