Distance-based reputation metrics are practical in P2P environments

International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (IJMSO), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2006

Abstract: This article considers computational aspects of web-of-trust-like approaches in distributed, peer-to-peer environments. The key algorithmic issue here is finding the shortest trusted path between two participants. This is a kind of all-pairs-shortest-path problem and it is found to be resolvable assuming scale-free social graph topology and sublinear per-node resource constraints.
