Research consensus algorithms and vote aggregation algorithms. #12

Closed jghms closed 6 years ago

jghms commented 6 years ago

In the end we are trying to combine multiple semi-local trust ratings from different nodes into a globally accepted (consensus) trust rating of (all?) nodes on the network.

List of algorithms/papers DMRep Aberer, Despotovic 2001 EigenRep P2PRep R2Trust Trust model for IOT Dual EigenRep

jghms commented 6 years ago

The above papers describe different approaches for modeling trust and performing trust management in a decentralized, distributed peer-to-peer networks. All of them use a reputation based trust system, which means that users are valued based on their interaction history.

P2PRep is a protocol for comparing the reputation of all nodes that offer a specific resource before downloading it.

EigenRep is using the Eigentrust algorithm to calculate from individual local rankings a global trust ranking through gossiping.

The above algorithms are reputation systems, the explanation of which is discussed further in #19. Here we can compile a list of vote-aggregation algorithms should the need for those arise. For now I will close it because we first have to decide on a direction for research.
