Abstract
We propose a novel personal reputation system for cross-platform reputation. We observe that, in certain usage scenarios, e.g. crowd work, the rater anonymity property typically imposed on reputation systems is not necessary. Instead, we propose a relaxed notion of rater anonymity that is more applicable in the crowd work scenario. This allows us to construct a secure personal reputation system from simple cryptographic primitives.
