2005-03-22Reputation and Community Trust of Download FilesACM News Service: Cleaning Spam from Swapping Networks. Although I am fascinated by the prospects of peer-to-peer approaches to distributed information systems, I have been wary of stepping onto this territory until there is some stability and better assurances of safety. The "Credence" program developed at Cornell University is designed to coordinate among peer-network nodes in order to establish trustworthiness of a particular file that is available for download. That may qualify as a form of TROSTing and I am definitely curious. John Borland's 2005-03-18 CNet News.Com article provides a link to Credence. The motivation and approach are definitely interesting, along with the fact that vulnerabilities in the LimeWire Gnutella client were discovered in the course of adding in the Credence functions. I am particularly intrigued by the fact that the process of developing reputation assessments is dynamic and fluid and pretty automatic. So there are interesting prospects for building up trustworthiness assessments out of this mechanism. There's much more here and an interesting body of research projects that Emin Gün Sirer is engaged in.
