An Efficient Off-Line Reputation Scheme Using Articulated Certificates

Abstract

A common feature practical reputation schemes is that they are on-line which results in restrictions to both availability and scalability. In order to overcome these two problems we propose an off-line reputation scheme based on public key certificates. We introduce the idea of articulated certificates which use proxy signatures to increase the efficiency of reputation verification. As well as being well-suited to our problem such linked certificates may be of independent interest.
