Abstract
Reputation systems are emerging as a promising means to assist users to make a right decision about their counterparts before embarking on a business transaction with them in the e-commerce environment. Thus, it is extremely important to ensure that reputation systems are securely implemented and protected from manipulation. Motivated by such needs a security architecture for reputation systems is proposed. Within the architecture several services are identified. In addition, the mechanisms and parameters to support the identified services are also determined.
The work reported in this paper has been funded in part by the Co-operative Research Centre for Enterprise Distributed Systems Technology (DSTC) through the Australian Federal Government’s CRC Programme (Department of Industry, Science & Resources).
