Towards Reliable Trust Management in Insecure P2P Environments

: The rapid growth of communication technologies in the past years has  enabled development of collaborative peer­to­peer applications. The reliable col­ laborative application must implement some methods which help to detect mali­ cious entities and avoid collaboration with them. Such systems are based on build­ ing trust relationships between entities; their design is difficult due to a decentral­ ized architecture and general distrust among unknown entities. In this paper we  analyze requirements for reliable trust management in an insecure environment  like Internet. We propose criteria which reliable trust management should meet  and we compare several published systems according to these criteria. We also  propose guidance on design and evaluation of trust management techniques.
