TrustRate: A Decentralized Platform for Hijack-Resistant Anonymous Reviews
<|reference_start|>TrustRate: A Decentralized Platform for Hijack-Resistant Anonymous Reviews: Reviews and ratings by users form a central component in several widely used products today (e.g., product reviews, ratings of online content, etc.), but today's platforms for managing such reviews are ad-hoc and vulnerable to various forms of tampering and hijack by fake reviews either by bots or motivated paid workers. We define a new metric called 'hijack-resistance' for such review platforms, and then present TrustRate, an end-to-end decentralized, hijack-resistant platform for authentic, anonymous, tamper-proof reviews. With a prototype implementation and evaluation at the scale of thousands of nodes, we demonstrate the efficacy and performance of our platform, towards a new paradigm for building products based on trusted reviews by end users without having to trust a single organization that manages the reviews.<|reference_end|>
