Mitigating the Impact of Liars by Reflecting Peer’s Credibility on P2P File Reputation Systems

Abstract

Liars that submit wrong feedbacks can subvert the reputation systems by inducing false detection of untrustworthy downloads. In this paper, we propose a reputation management scheme which mitigates the impact of liars and reduces the untrustworthy downloads on the P2P file reputation system. Our scheme uses global file reputations and local peer credibilities to build the trust of downloaded files. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme effectively reduces the untrustworthy downloads with low false detection rate even when the high rate of untrustworthy files and liars exist.
