A reputation system for peer-to-peer networks
Abstract
We investigate the design of a reputation system for decentralized unstructured P2P networks like Gnutella. Having reliable reputation information about peers can form the basis of an incentive system and can guide peers in their decision making (e.g., who to download a file from). The reputation system uses objective criteria to track each peer's contribution in the system and allows peers to store their reputations locally. Reputation are computed using either of the two schemes, debit-credit reputation computation (DCRC) and credit-only reputation computation (CORC). Using a reputation computation agent (RCA), we design a public key based mechanism that periodically updates the peer reputations in a secure, light-weight, and partially distributed manner. We evaluate using simulations the performance tradeoffs inherent in the design of our system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
