  abstract =	 {In peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, peers often must
                  interact with unknown or unfamiliar peers without
                  the benefit of trusted third parties or authorities
                  to mediate the interactions. A peer will need
                  reputation mechanisms to incorporate the knowledge
                  of others to decide whether to trust another party
                  in P2P systems. This paper discusses the design of
                  reputation mechanisms and proposes a novel
                  distributed reputation mechanism to detect malicious
                  or unreliable peers in P2P systems. It illustrates
                  the process for rating gathering and aggregation and
                  presents some experimental results to evaluate the
                  proposed approach. Moreover, it considers how to
                  effectively aggregate noisy (dishonest or
                  inaccurate) ratings from independent or collusive
                  peers using weighted majority
                  techniques. Furthermore, it analyzes some possible
                  attacks on reputation mechanisms and shows how to
                  defend against such attacks.},
