Title

Reputation Systems

Goal

To design and implement a reputation system

Description

Reputation systems are used to assign, share and maintain a score to entities in a system. Those entities can be files or users for example. Reputation systems are common place, and can be found on commercial websites, such as souq.com or eBay; and in distributed systems such as BitTorrent. In the case of BitTorrent (or other P2P networks), scores can be assigned to either 1- Users: e.g. a score of 0 means, for example, the user shares malicious content (for security applications), or is a free-rider, i.e. someone who has a selfish behaviour (for QoS) 2- Files: e.g. a score of 0 means, for example, it contains malware (for security applications), or has a misleading title (for QoS). We have several published papers in the field and did supervise several projects on this topic that can be shared with interested students on demand.
