Employing Trusted Computing for the forward pricing of pseudonyms in reputation systems

Cryptography and Security 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Reputation and recommendation systems are fundamental for the formation of community market places. Yet, they are easy targets for attacks which disturb a market's equilibrium and are often based on cheap pseudonyms used to submit ratings. We present a method to price ratings using trusted computing, based on pseudonymous tickets.
