Abstract:
In almost every interaction the trusting peer might
fear about the likelihood of the loss in the resources involved
during the transaction. This likelihood of the loss in the
resources is termed as Risk in the transaction. Hence analyzing
the Risk involved in a transaction is important to decide whether
to proceed with the transaction or not. If a trusting peer is
unfamiliar with a trusted peer and has not interacted with it
before in a specific context, then it will ask for recommendations
from other peer in order to determine the trusted peer’s
Riskiness value or reputation. In this paper we discuss the
process of asking recommendations from other peers in a specific
context and assimilating those recommendations according to its
criteria of the interaction in order to determine the correct
Riskiness value of the trusted peer.
