Aims:
• Develop new architectures and services
based on reputation systems.
• Enhance existing services by adding the
concept of reputation.
• Find different, efficient ways of representing
and using reputation.
Examples:
• Spam fighting: use reputation as an
indicator to include IP addresses into
white/black lists.
• Efficient use of the network: use reputation
in peer-to-peer networks to avoid misuse.
White/black listing
• People include IPs in the white list.
• Periodic automated checks to move IPs
between lists.
• The white list is used to purge the black list.
• The black list is checked by the MTAs by
querying a DNS zone.
• Binary reputation!

• The reputation of a peer is used to decide
whether to share something with him or not.
