Abstract

In this paper, a method is described for providing a distributed reputation system with enhanced privacy and security as a design feature. This is achieved using a network of trusted agents on each client platform that exploit Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) technology 1.

This work has been funded by Hewlett-Packard Limited.
