Abstract

Reputation evaluation system, as the publisher and analyser of evaluation, is an important influencing factor for users and sellers in online business. Traditional reputation evaluation system always requires a third party to achieve the operation of analysis and publishment. However, a third party often exposes the identity of the users, and leaks the information. As far as we know, all existing revocable reputation evaluations are based on the third-party model. In this paper, we present a new reputation evaluation system based on blockchain. Compared with traditional reputation evaluation systems, our system removes the third party, it allows users to modify their own evaluation information. Moreover, the user's privacy also can be protected. The experiment performance demonstrates that the overhead of the system is acceptable, the system is feasible and efficient.
