Abstract

The risks from participating in P2P transactions are relatively high. To mitigate such risk a reputation scheme could be applied. Reputation schemes have emerged as a promising means for enabling electronic transactions with strangers. In order to gain optimal results from the reputation scheme, the privacy of feedback provider should be correctly addressed. The feedback provider should be allowed to leave a feedback without fear of retaliation. Unlike in centralized schemes, privacy seems impractical for P2P systems especially when accountability of feedback is also required. This paper considers how privacy can still be provided within the accountability requirement.
