Conference Proceeding
Wang, D., Muller, T., Zhang, J., & Liu, Y. (2015). Quantifying robustness of trust systems against collusive unfair rating attacks using information theory. In IJCAI'15: Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence. , (111-117)

Unfair rating attacks happen in existing trust and reputation systems, lowering the quality of the systems. There exists a formal model that measures the maximum impact of independent attackers [Wang et al., 2015] - based on information theory. We im...
